The MPI Developers Conference and Users Group Meeting is a conference
for all users of 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 users from
industry, national laboratories, and academia who are using MPI to
present their ideas about, and experiences with, MPI.

The Preliminary Conference Program is now available.  The program
features 25 presentations, a panel discussion on MPI I/O, and a
poster/demo session.  Social activities include a reception on the
evening of June 30 and a banquet on the evening of July 1.


TUTORIALS:

Two pre-conference tutorials on MPI will be offered on June 29 and 30,
1996.  The first tutorial, on June 29, will cover the basics of MPI
including point-to-point and collective communication operations, and
communicators.  The second tutorial, on June 30, will pick up where
the first tutorial left off and will cover data types, topologies,
intercommunicators, and profiling/debugging.  Attendees may take
either or both of the tutorials.

Both tutorials will be conducted in one of Notre Dame's UltraSPARC
instructional clusters where each attendee will have use of a
workstation throughout the tutorial.  The tutorial lectures will be
interspersed with a series of exercises allowing each tutorial
attendee to write, debug, and run MPI-based programs using C or
Fortran.
