Started by small group of well known scientists with the aim of sharing knowledge, experiences, and results on all aspects of cluster computing, the initiative of a workshop on cluster computing received more attention after IFIP WG 10.3 and IEEE Romania Section accepted our request for sponsorship. Moreover, the application for a NATO ARW grant was successful, leading to a greater interest in the workshop. In this respect, we have to say that we chose Romania in order to attract scientists from Central and Eastern European countries and improve the cooperation in the region, in the field of cluster computing. We had an extremely short time to organize the event, but many people joined us and enthusiastically contributed to the process. The success of the workshop is wholly due to the hard work of the organizing committee, members of the program committee, key speakers, speakers from industry, and authors of accepted papers. The workshop consisted of invited and regular paper presentations, followed by discussions, on many important current and emerging topics ranging from sheduling and load balancing to grids. The key speakers devoted their time and efforts to presenting the most interesting results of their research groups, and we all thank them for this . All papers were peer reviewed by two or three reviewers.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Fourth Workshopon Languages andCompilers for Parallel Computing, held inSanta Clara, California, in August1991. The purpose of theworkshop, held every year since 1988, is to bring togetherthe leading researchers on parallel programming languagedesignand compilation techniques for parallel computers.The papers in this book cover several important topicsincluding: (1) languages and structures to representprograms internally in the compiler, (2) techniques toanalyzeand manipulate sequential loops in order to generatea parallel version, (3)techniques to detect and extractfine-grain parallelism, (4) scheduling and memory-managementissues in automatically generated parallel programs, (5)parallel programming language designs, and (6) compilationof explicitly parallel programs.Together, the papers give a good overview of the researchprojects underway in 1991 in this field.

The articles in this volume are revised versions of the bestpapers presented at the Fifth Workshop on Languages andCompilers for Parallel Computing, held at Yale University,August 1992. The previous workshops in this series were heldin Santa Clara (1991), Irvine (1990), Urbana (1989), andIthaca (1988). As in previous years, a reasonablecross-section of some of the best work in the field ispresented. The volume contains 35 papers, mostly by authorsworking in the U.S. or Canada but also by authors fromAustria, Denmark, Israel, Italy, Japan and the U.K.

This book contains papers selected for presentation at theSixth Annual Workshop on Languages and Compilers forParallel Computing. The workshop washosted by the OregonGraduate Institute of Science and Technology. All the majorresearch efforts in parallel languages and compilers arerepresented in this workshop series.The 36 papers in the volume aregrouped under nine headings:dynamic data structures, parallel languages, HighPerformance Fortran, loop transformation, logic and dataflowlanguage implementations, fine grain parallelism, scalaranalysis, parallelizing compilers, and analysis of parallelprograms. The book represents a valuable snapshot of thestate of research in the field in 1993.

This volume presents revised versions of the 32 papers accepted for the Seventh Annual Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing, held in Ithaca, NY in August 1994.The 32 papers presented report on the leading research activities in languages and compilers for parallel computing and thus reflect the state of the art in the field. The volume is organized in sections on fine-grain parallelism, align- ment and distribution, postlinear loop transformation, parallel structures, program analysis, computer communication, automatic parallelization, languages for parallelism, scheduling and program optimization, and program evaluation.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Eighth Annual Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing, held in Columbus, Ohio in August 1995.The 38 full revised papers presented were carefully selected for inclusion in the proceedings and reflect the state of the art of research and advanced applications in parallel languages, restructuring compilers, and runtime systems. The papers are organized in sections on fine-grain parallelism, interprocedural analysis, program analysis, Fortran 90 and HPF, loop parallelization for HPF compilers, tools and libraries, loop-level optimization, automatic data distribution, compiler models, irregular computation, object-oriented and functional parallelism.
