School in Parallel Programming
June 21-June 30, 1993 Hanover, New Hampshire
This past summer, Dartmouth held its second DAGS institute to promote the use of high-performance computing. As in 1992, when it was established with the support of the NSF and Dartmouth College, the institute brought together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. The institute was composed of two parts: a symposium (June 21-23) of invited and contributed talks, followed by a hands-on school (June 24-30) on parallel programming. Housing was available at economical rates in college dormitories, near to conference sessions and centrally located on the Dartmouth campus.
June 21-23:
Symposium
The focus of the symposium was on parallel I/O and databases.
Invited speakers: Alok Aggarwal (IBM T.J. Watson), Garth Gibson
(Carnegie Mellon), David Scott (Intel Supercomputers),
Jeffrey Vitter (Duke), David Waltz (Thinking Machines),
John Wilkes (Hewlett-Packard).

June 24-30:
School on Parallel Programming
The school involved a hands-on course on programming parallel
algorithms using the NESL parallel language. The course was
taught by the developer of NESL, Professor Guy Blelloch of Carnegie
Mellon University. The course introduced several parallel data
structures and a variety of parallel algorithms and then looked
at how they could be implemented. The school included other
activities which were conducted by different faculty of the
DAGS '93 school, such as tutorials on various software issues of
parallel programming and exposure to or demonstration of
other parallel programming languages, such as C*.
Organizing Committee: Fillia Makedon (chair), Donald Johnson, Ken Bogart, Tom Cormen, Wayne Cripps, George Cybenko, Scot Drysdale, Mark Franklin, David Kotz, Don Kreider, Panagiotis Metaxas, Debra Minichiello, Grammati Pantziou, Clifford Stein, Patricia Wilson.
