Euro-Par is THE  annual European conference in Parallel Processing.  It merges
the former PARLE and  CONPAR-VAPP conferences,  two major events of the field.
The 1996 version will consist of a  large panel of highly focused workshops on
all aspects of parallel processing,  from theory to practice,  from academy to
industry. They are expected to present the latest advances in their respective
domains.  They will be introduced  by several high level tutorials  of general
interest.  More than 20 workshops have been launched in parallel, ranging from
1/2 to 2 days. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by
Springer-Verlag in the LNCS Series.

Workshop #20:
                        Instruction-Level Parallelism                         

  A major challenge for computer architects and compiler designers is how to
exploit instruction-level parallelism (ILP) in high-performance processors.
Superscalar, superpipelined and VLIW architectures are interesting design
points within the architecture spectrum, where multiple instructions are
issued and executed in parallel. A recent debate is whether one of these
processor design will prevail or should one look for a hybrid design? These
questions are particularly challenging when compiling issues for these
machines are also considered at the same time. With the challenge of ILP
exploitation, the old boundary at instruction set architecture is no longer
adequate, and compiler writers and architects must closely work together
toward a common goal. This workshop, is intended to present a forum for
researchers and developers in this field to discuss and debate key issues of
common interest with an emphasize on the coordination between compiler writers
and architects. 

Topics of interest include:

1. Compilation techniques for ILP              2. ILP architecture innovations 
3. Branch prediction and speculative execution   4. Cache and memory hierarchy 
5. ILP theoretical foundations          6. Compiler and architecture co-design 
7. Applications of ILP techniques                  8. New topics on ILP (open) 
9. ILP performance evaluation           10. Application-specific architectures

                 Additional information for Workshop #20
                        Instruction-Level Parallelism                         

Submissions are  expected to be no longer  than 15 pages.  The cover page must
clearly indicate the name,  address,  affiliation,  phone and  fax numbers and
electronic  address of the author(s),  plus a 100-word abstract.  The workshop
number (20) and the  workshop title related to each  submitted paper must also
be  clearly  indicated  on the  cover  page.  The  official  languages  of the
conference are English and French. Submitted papers must not be simultaneously
under  review  for any  other  conference,  and  authors  must  point  out any
substantial overlap with their previously published work.


    Electronic submissions are most strongly encouraged. They are mandatory
    for  all  people  having  access  to  standard  electronic  facilities.

They should consist of two e-mails:
. The first one containing an ASCII cover page, giving the author's full name,
address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, a 100-word abstract and
keywords.
. The second one with the printable file, most preferably in attachment.

Accepted  formats  are  uuencoded   compressed  EPSF  PostScript  files  (most
preferably generated  by dvips).  We are sorry  not to be able  to accommodate
other file formats.  If at all possible,  please attempt to print the document
on more than one  brand/model of laser printers.  If your program requests it,
assume that the document will be printed on a 300 DPI standard PostScript Unix
Sun laser printer.  We will do our  best to get all  files printed.  If a file
cannot be  printed in spite of  all our efforts,  we will  have to  reject the
electronic  submission.  In case  of doubt,  send us a  (possibly preliminary)
paper version  of the submission  before the  February 4, 1996  paper deadline
(one  copy is  enough  in this  case).  We will  consider that  the electronic
version of the submission, if printable, is the final one.

The files should be mailed to  europar96@lip.ens-lyon.fr  and received at this
address before  February 18, 1996, 12:00 GMT.  Please note that this is a firm
deadline.

Paper submissions are only allowed  for people without easy access to standard
electronic facilities. Authors should send 6 copies of their submission to the
official address below,  postmarked before February 4, 1996.  Please note that
this is a firm deadline.

Proceedings.   All accepted papers will be published by SPRINGER-VERLAG in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. Proceedings will be available at the
conference.  Papers will be  published in 3 lengths:  full papers  (12 pages),
short papers (8 pages), poster papers (4 pages).
