Subject:    Workshop on "Charm++ and Applications " at Urbana-Champaign Oct
       8-11.



Dear colleague:

We have planned a workshop on "Charm++ and its Applications" from
Oct. 9-11 at the University of Ilinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The workshop will include:

(See the web page under construction:
http://charm.cs.uiuc.edu/charmWorkshop )

1. Presentations of applications programmed using Charm++ family of
      parallel programming tools (mainly Charm++, AMPI, and the FEM
      framework).

2. Tutorials on specific tools and languages: (Potential topics include)
         a. Charm++
         b. AMPI
         c. FEM and unstructured mesh framework
         d. Multiblock and AMR framework for structured grids
         e. Particle/Tree framework
         f. Cluster scheduler and across-cluster schedulers
             (Faucets framework).

3. Discussion/working sessions for specific funded projects
      (especially involving non-University-of-Illinois collaborators)
         a. Computational cosmology: (9th afternoon)
         b. Car-Parinello method for QM/MM (11th morning?)


Tentative schedule is:


Oct 9 morning:
         a. Charm++ tutorial in parallel with
         b. AMPI tutorial

Oct 9 afternoon:
         a. Discussion session on N-Chilada project
            (Computational cosmology)
         b. (In parallel with a): FEM framework tutorial.
         c. Any formal presentation that could not be done
             on Oct 10 due to scheduling.)

Oct 10 morning: Formal workshop (presentations on charm and applications):
         a. Charm
         b. NAMD
         c. Cosmology

Oct 10 afternoon: Formal workshop (Presentations on charm and applications:
         a. rocket simulation (Multi-module simulations)
         b. Process simulation (FEM,  Dendritic growth,
             space-time-meshes)
         c. QM-MM: Science motivation and preliminary results

Oct 11 morning:
         a. Any remaining presentations that could not be done
             on Oct 10 due to scheduling conflicts).
         b. QM/MM project discussion
         c. Clusters tutorial

There is some possibility of moving some tutorials to 8th, and
duplicating some of them on saturday 12th, if there is a demand.


Please forward this message to anyone who you think should receive it,
and/or send their email address to our workshop mailing list by emailing
it to jdesouza@uiuc.edu.

Thanks,
