Second Workshop on Massively Parallel Processing (WMPP)
April 19, 2002 at IPDPS'02, Fort Lauderdale, FL
Message from the General and Program Chairs
Welcome to the second Workshop on Massively Parallel Processing!
(
pointer to the First Workshop)
This workshop addresses all areas of massively parallel processing.
In organizing this workshop, we realized that computer solutions to
many problems facing modern civilization require a level of
computational power that far exceeds current capabilities.
Consequently, we solicited papers on research that extends
current computational capacity boundaries and gives solutions to
currently inaccessible computationally intensive problems, such as
some of the grand challenge problems.

General areas of interest included synchronous and asynchronous
parallel computation, algorithms and models, systems architecture,
hardware, systems software and languages, component technology, and
applications. Specific topics of interest included SIMD and MIMD
massively parallel systems case studies; teraflop and petaflop system
development and applications; intelligent RAM, IRAM, and PIM system
development; data parallel and associative computing; case studies and
performance analysis of massively parallel systems and applications;
resource management for massively parallel applications; domain
specific libraries and applications; experience with commercial and
experimental massively parallel systems; and systems software and
tools for massively parallel computing.
We hope that you will enjoy the manuscripts that were selected to
appear in the workshop program.
