Subject: Top Ten Reasons for Going to MPI UG/Developer's Meeting
Newsgroups: comp.parallel.pvm,comp.parallel.mpi
Summary: MPI UG Meeting CFP ... please attend
Keywords: MPI

Reasons:
10. You want to hear the real scoop on MPI groups, communicators and contexts
    [and how these concepts have been around and used effectively for years,
     even before MPI].
9.  You run on the Cray T3D, and want to see how fast your code can go,
    without using unportable puts and gets.
8.  You're interested to hear about all the neat public-domain and
    developing vendor efforts in the area of message passing.
7.  You've heard that MPI-2 will include process management and you want
    to put in your two cents with some of the members of the MPI Forum.
6.  You've just (or almost) made the decision to move your company's
    codes to MPI, and you want to become familiar with people from the MPI
    forum, people who have been developing MPI applications for a year
    or more, and others who develop reusable libraries/packages with MPI.
5.  You want to hear about how MPI will impact the I-Way project.
4.  You want to attend a tutorial on MPI, but you absolutely can't or
    won't wait till Supercomputing '95.
3.  You want someone to tell you once again that MPI runs well on MPPs
    and CLUSTERS, even gigabit/s systems, even though you already know its true.
2.  You've heard that MPI has several good implementations, and you'd like
    to know more about each of them, where they run, and how these relate
    to each other, and to commercial efforts underway.
1.  You've just attend the PVM UG Meeting, and want to hear more about MPI,
    or at least hear another point of view.

Here's how:

	 *** PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS ***

		      MPI Developers Conference

			   June 22-23, 1995
		       University of Notre Dame
			Notre Dame, IN  46556

The MPI Developers Conference is a conference for developers of
applications which use the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard
and is intended to support the continued development and use of MPI
and its extensions.  The conference will provide a forum for
developers from national laboratories, industry, and academia who are
using MPI to present their ideas about, and experiences with, MPI.

In addition, a full-day pre-conference tutorial on MPI will be offered
on June 21, 1995.

Since this conference is intended to be cutting-edge (and, if
possible, controversial), we welcome abstracts for presented papers,
oral presentations (i.e., talks with no full paper), panel
discussions, and software demonstrations.  Abstracts should be
approximately 500 words (+- 250) in length and sent by email (in
ASCII, LaTeX, PostScript, or HTML format), if possible.  The deadline
for submitting abstracts is May 29, 1995.  Abstracts will be reviewed
and authors notified of their acceptance by June 5, 1995.  Final
versions of accepted presented papers will be due June 21, 1995 and
should be provided in a form suitable for reading by WWW browsers
(HTML preferred).  In keeping with the cutting-edge nature of the
conference, the conference proceedings will be made available on the
World Wide Web.
