Extended paper submission deadline for the 9th European PVM/MPI meeting

Linz 12 May 2002 The 9th European PVM/MPI Users' Group Meeting will be held in Linz, Austria, September 29th-October 2nd, 2002. The deadline for paper submission has been extended to May 17, 2002.

PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) and MPI (Message Passing Interface) are the most frequently used tools for parallel programming according to the message-passing paradigm. The meeting is dedicated to the latest developments of PVM and MPI and their applications.

The 9th European PVM/MPI Users' Group conference will be a forum for the users and developers of PVM, MPI, and other message-passing programming environments. They will have the opportunity to meet each other, share ideas and experiences, and meet members of the PVM and MPI teams.

Main topics of the meeting will be:

Algorithms using the message-passing paradigm
Applications in science and engineering based on message-passing
Latest extensions and improvements to PVM and MPI
Evaluation of PVM and MPI
Performance of PVM and MPI
Tools for PVM and MPI
PVM/MPI extensions
Implementation issues
PVM/MPI in metacomputing and grid environments

The 9th EuroPVM/MPI conference will be jointly organised with the 4th Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems (DAPSYS) at the Johannes Kepler University Linz. Participants of the two events will share invited talks, tutorials, vendor sessions, and social events, while contributed paper presentations will go on in separate tracks in parallel.

While EuroPVM/MPI is dedicated to the latest developments of PVM and MPI, DAPSYS is expected to be a major event to discuss general aspects of parallel and distributed systems. In this way the two events are complement to each other and participants of the 9th EuroPVM/MPI conference can benefit from the joint organisation of the two events.
