A large number of supercomputers are now or will in the future be running 
UNIX as their primary operating system.  This is the first workshop to 
consider the general problems of running UNIX on supercomputers, and will 
cover topics both practical and abstract.  Areas of specific interest 
include but are not limited to:
 
	Systems administration
	Archiving
	Scheduling
	File systems
	Networking and network protocols
	Job batching systems
	Monitoring Performance/parallelism
	Programming languages and environments
	Fast file I/O
	Shared memory management
	IPC
	Very large files
	Checkpoint-restart
 
The workshop will include both shorter presentations and full-length
papers, and there will also be tours of Pittsburgh Supercomputing
Center and Westinghouse Energy Center facilities and a reception at
the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.  Workshop proceedings will be
available at the Workshop.
 
If you are interested in presenting either a full paper or a brief
discussion of your current work, please send an abstract of your paper
or presentation to Melinda Shore by  July 15, 1988 .  If you are sending
your submission by US Mail, please send three copies.  All submissions
will be acknowledged.
