SUP'EUR 96
==========
High Performance Computing in Europe on IBM Platforms
=====================================================
Krakow, September 8 - 11, 1996
===============================
Location and organizing institution
====================================
The 8th annual meeting of SUP'EUR will be held in Krakow, Poland.
The Conference is organized jointly by Academic Computer Center CYFRONET
- KRAKOW, Institute of Computer Science, AGH and SUP'EUR Steering
Committee and will take place at the Continental Hotel (4 km from the
town center and 0.5 km from the ACC CYFRONET).
Previous SUP'EUR meetings have been held in Geneva (1989), Aachen
(1990), Rome (1991), Umea (1992), Vienna (1993), Amsterdam (1994) and
Madrid (1995).
Who is invited ?
================
We invited for participation in the Conference all current and future
users of high performance computers in academic, research and industry
as well as representatives of computer centers providing HPC services.
The meeting is particularly intended to address problems and needs of
high performance computing on IBM machines, to offer up-to-date
information on IBM's products and plans in HPC. SUP'EUR 96 will be a
forum of discussion and information exchange with leading supercomputing
experts and IBM product developers from Europe and USA.
Main topics of the meeting
==========================
SUP'EUR 96 will focus on the following topics:
- Parallel and distributed computing,
- IBM trends in high performance computing,
- New IBM products,
- Experience with SP2,
- High performance storage systems,
- Environments, languages and tools,
- Applications,
- Graphics and visualization,
- Education and training.
Main topics of tutorials:
=========================
- High Performance FORTRAN,
- NAG numerical PVM library,
- IBM parallel ESSL library,
- From PVM to MPI.
The Sup'Prize contest
======================
Jointly with the conferences the Sup'Prize meetings are organized.
Sup'Prize is a contest (sponsored by IBM) in the development of parallel
applications on IBM platforms. More about the Sup'Prize contest you can
find in the attached information. We encourage all Sup'Prize
contestants to submit their papers to SUP'EUR 96.
Papers Submission
=================
We invite everyone (and especially Sup'Prize contestants) with ideas or
experiences about high performance computing on IBM platforms to submit
papers for presentation at SUP'EUR 96.
Contributed papers should be 4 to 10 pages A4 long (including figures,
tables and references). Authors are requested to submit original camera
ready papers before May 30, 1996. Papers will be reviewed and authors
will be notified of their acceptance by June 30, 1996. Accepted papers
will be included to the Conference program. In contrast with the
arrangements at previous Conferences in SUP'EUR series, the papers will
be printed prior to SUP'EUR 96in a proceeding volume that will be
distributed to participants at the beginning of the Conference.
Formatting and submission details will be distributed later on.
The SUP'EUR definition
=======================
SUP'EUR is the association of European users of high-performance
computing on IBM platforms.
The goal of Sup'Eur is to facilitate the usage of IBM high-performance

academic, research and industrial environments. The group seeks to
foster the exchange of ideas and experiences, to solve problems, to
discuss solutions, to submit requirements to IBM and keep up to date
with the latest in HPC. Activities include an annual conference, an
electronic discussion list, workshops, meetings with IBM, call for
experiences.
The SUP'EUR organization
=========================
- SUP'EUR General Assembly -- all participants of SUP'EUR conference,
meeting once a year (at the conference);

KRAKOW
=======
Krakow, a city with about 800,000 inhabitants, located in the southern
part of Poland, on the Wisla River, belongs traditionally to the leading
scientific and cultural centres of the country. Today there are 12
university level institutions with about 10,000 scientists and 51,000
students.
Legend says that the city was founded by the mythical ruler Krak on
Wawel Hill, above a cave occupied by a ravenous dragon. The first
historical records are of Slavic people settling along the banks of the
Wisla River here in the 8th century. By the end of the 10th century
Krakow was a major market centre and it had been incorporated into the
Polish state ruled by the Piast dynasty. In the middle of the 11th
century Krakow became the capital of Poland. Destroyed two hundred
years later by the Tartar invasion it was rebuilt in the form basically
unaltered until our times. The period of Krakow's greatest splendour
began with the reign of King Kazimierz the Great who founded here a
university in 1364 - the oldest in central Europe after Prague. The
growth continued during the reign of the Jagiellonian dynasty as
manifested by the great works of the Renaissance art and architecture
created at that time. After the transfer of the capital to Warszawa in
1596, Krakow began to decline, which was accelerated by the pillage of
the city during the Swedish invasion. Following the partitions of
Poland between three neighbouring countries at the end of the 18th
century, Krakow was the incorporated into Austria. During the World War
I from Krakow Legions led by Jozef Pilsudski set out to fight for the
liberation of Poland. In September 1939 the Nazis entered the city.
Fortunately Krakow escaped destruction during World War II and it is now
flourishing again.
In 1978 UNESCO distinguished Krakow by entering its name in the list of
world cultural heritage centers. Among hundreds of historic buildings
the following are of the special interest: the Royal Castle and
Cathedral on Wawel Hill, the medieval Old Town with one of Europe's most
beautiful squares, Market Square (200 by 200 meters), dozens of old
churches and museums, the 14th century Jagiellonian University as well
as Kazimierz - historical centre of Krakow's Jewish religious and social
life. Krakow is a convenient starting point of excursions to the Salt
Mine in Wieliczka, to the Tatra mountains, to Czestochowa , to the
former Nazi death camp Auschwitz in Oswiecim and to the Ojcow National
Park.
Over three centuries ago Krakow acquired the honourable title "totius
Poloniae urbs celeberrima", which well reflected the unique character of
the town, the old capital of Poland, the city of Nicholas Copernicus and
Pope John Paul II.
Come, see and enjoy.
