Now in its 17th year, the conference also includes invited talks, tutorials, workshops, panels, and exhibits. The San Francisco Bay Area - the most sought after tourist destination in the entire world and the home of Silicon Valley - will host the conference in 2003. Papers are solicited on all aspects of research, development, and application of high-performance systems, including new experimental and commercial systems, architectures with fine and coarse grain parallelism, grid computing, novel infrastructures for the Internet, parallel I/O and storage, embedded and power-aware computer architectures, operating systems and support software, restructuring and optimizing compilers, program development tools, high-performance Java, performance evaluation studies, numerical or non-numerical algorithms, and computationally challenging scientific applications. Papers should not exceed 6,000 words, and must be submitted electronically using the submission form available at http://www.csit.fsu.edu/ics03. Submissions must be in PDF or postscript format. Workshop and tutorial proposals are solicited, and are due by March 17, 2003. For further information and future updates, refer to the ICS'03 web site at http://www.csit.fsu.edu/ics03, or contact the General or Program Chairs.

Dr. Michael Gschwind ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * ML-RSIM: Accurate and Detailed Full-System Simulation Release http://www.cse.nd.edu/~mlrsim/index.php We are pleased to announce ML-RSIM, an execution driven simulator that integrates detailed processor and cache models with a complete I/O subsystem. Combined with the Unix-compatible Lamix operating system, ML-RSIM provides a unique tool that allows researchers to study the interaction of computer architecture, I/O activity, system software and applications. ML-RSIM executes static Sparc V8 binaries. The Lamix system call interface is compatible with Solaris 2.8. In general, applications compiled for ML-RSIM can execute on native SPARC/Solaris systems without modification. No special libraries or include files are required to compile applications for the simulator. ML-RSIM is developed and maintained by Lambert Schaelicke and Mike Parker and is based on RSIM version 1.0 and NetBSD 1.4c. The simulation system is available at no cost in source-code form at http://www.cse.nd.edu/~mlrsim/index.php The simulator includes models of the following components: * dynamically-scheduled SPARC V8 processor * two-level caches * split-transaction coherent system bus * multi-bank memory controller with SDRAM or RAMBUS memory * realtime clock * SCSI adapter with SCSI bus * SCSI hard disk ML-RSIM boots a Unix-like operating system with a Solaris-compatible system call interface. Other features include: * process management, including signal handling and multitasking * basic virtual memory support * vnode-based filesystem layer * BSD FFS and LFS filesystems, including file cache * BSD-based PCI and SCSI device drivers * HostFS filesystem imports simulation host file system into Lamix kernel * basic socket support ML-RSIM has been ported to SPARC/Solaris, MIPS/Irix and x86/Linux platforms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
