5:30 Closing Remarks
 

(and, for historical interest...)

        Multithreaded execution is becoming a very important execution
        model in modern computers, both single and multi-processors.
        The focus of this workshop is on multithreading execution
        techniques and systems, including architecture design and
        implementation, compilation techniques, system and language
        support and performance evaluation.
 

TOPICS OF INTEREST

        Topics of interest include the execution model, architecture,
        compilation and performance evaluation of multithreaded
        systems.
 

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

        Paper submissions and reviews will be done electronically.
        Authors are requested to submit an extended abstract not to
        exceed seven pages single spaced (including references,
        figures and tables) in Postscript. Please make sure the
        document can be viewed using "ghostview" and is formatted in
        letter size (as opposed to A4). The cover page should include
        a brief abstract, a list of 5 keywords and the full address of
        the corresponding author (including surface mail address,
        telephone and fax numbers and email address).

        Email papers to mteac99@cs.ucsd.edu
