Sincerely, Boon S Ang Publicity Chair ASPLOS-IX Conference Call for Participation The 2nd Workshop on Intelligent Memory Systems November 12, 2000 Boston, Massachusetts In conjunction with ASPLOS-IX http://arch.cs.ucdavis.edu/ims00 Increasing chip densities and inter-chip communication costs continue to fuel interest in intelligent memory systems. Since the First Workshop on Mixing Logic and DRAM in 1997, technologies and systems for computation in memory have developed quickly. The focus of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss recent progress and future goals.

This special workshop is to bring together computer scientists, applied mathematicians and researchers to present, discuss and exchange idea, results, work in progress and experience of research in the area of parallel and distributed computing for problems in science and engineering applications. Among the main topics (but not limited to) are: * development of advanced parallel and distributed methods * parallel and distributed computing techniques and codes, * practical experiences using various supercomputers with software such as MPI, PVM, and High Performance Fortran, OpenMP, etc. * applications to the following areas: * computational fluid dynamics and mechanics * material sciences * space, weather, climate systems and global changes * computational environment and energy systems * computational ocean and earth sciences * combustion system simulation * computational chemistry * computational physics * bioinformatics and computational biology * medical applications * transportation systems simulations * combinatorial and global optimization problems * structural engineering * computational electromagnetics * computer graphics * semiconductor technology, electronic circuits and system design etc. Submission Information: Authors should send one copy of paper with experimental results in either PS or PDF format at most 20 pages to the workshop organizers (lyang@stfx.ca or pan@cs.gsu.edu) via electronic mail or three copies via postal mail. Contributions will be reviewed by at least three reviewers from both Program Committee and external reviewers for relevance and technical contents on basis of papers. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press as proceedings of the IPDPS workshops. Selected papers will be appeared on a special issue of the International Journal of INFORMATION.

The need to limit power consumption is readily apparent in the case of portable and mobile computer platforms — the laptop and the cell phone being the most common examples. But the need to limit power in other computer settings is becoming important too. This workshop is the third in a series of workshops and tutorials designed to bring together researchers in the area of architecture-power trade-offs and provide a forum for them to discuss their preliminary ideas. The first of these meetings, the Power-Driven Microarchitecture Workshop was held at ISCA98 in Barcelona, Spain. It helped raise the awareness of the architecture community to concerns about power issues. This workshop was followed by a tutorial, the Cool Chips Tutorial at MICRO32 in Haifa, Israel. It assembled a group of speakers from leading microprocessor companies to give presentations on what they consider to be their critical low power issues now and in the future, and some possible solutions to these problems. Topics of Interest: Topics of interest are any subject that addresses power-aware computing and communications. The focus will be broad and includes on microarchitecture, architecture, operating systems and compilers. Paper submission guidelines: Authors are requested to submit an abstracts of four 8.5 x 11 pages or less. The abstract should contain a title and a contact address. All submissions must be by email to tnm@eecs.umich.edu. The preferred format is pdf, but postscript is also acceptable if it is viewable by ghostscript. Important dates: Paper submission: November 7th, 2000 Notification of acceptance November 10th, 2000 Camera-ready due November 17th, 2000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Removing Yourself from SIGARCH Mailing List If your email address exactly matches the email address recorded on the SIGARCH list (no forwarding), you can remove yourself with: mail listserv@acm.org with message body (not subject): unsubscribe SIGARCH-MEMBERS If your email address does *not* match, mail me at infodir_SIGARCH@acm.org, and I will work to remove you from the list. --Mark ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
