      Illinois Pablo Repository for Parallel I/O Systems seeks
              tools, data, and educational material.

The Pablo research group at the University of Illinois Department of
Computer Science has launched a national repository for tools, data,
and educational material intended to further the study and development
of parallel I/O systems. This web-based facility, funded in part by
grant #EIA-9975020 from the National Science Foundation, was built
to benefit the work of instructors and students involved in computer
architecture and operating system coursework as well as the work of
parallel I/O system researchers and designers. It can be found at:

fundamental research or experimental design and evaluation. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

Processors in memory
Novel memory architectures
Memory chip technologies
Embedded design
Intelligent storage systems
Network memory
Interconnect design
Performance evaluation and modelling
Compilation and compression techniques
Real-time and operating system memory management

Submission deadline: December 15, 2000
Acceptance notice: April 2, 2001
Final manuscript deadline: May 25, 2001 
Publication date: November 2001

To submit, send by email either ghostviewable postscript or
