- Announcing the Start of the West Coast Computer Science Colloquium
-
- UCSD is participating in an exciting new teleconferencing experiment which
- will allow six leading universities to be linked up live for a weekly seminar,
- called the West Coast Computer Science Colloquium. The universities include
- Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UC Santa Barbara, and U Washington.
- Each week, the seminar will originate at a different university, and will be
- teleconferenced live to the other universities. The colloquium is every
- Wednesday at 4:00 in the CSE Lecture Hall, APM 4301.
-
- The first talk is tomorrow:
-
- Date: Wednesday, Jan 20, 4:00 PM
-
- Place: APM 4301
-
- Speaker: Richard Karp
- Computer Science Division, University of California, Berkeley

- Title: LogP: Towards a Realistic Model of Parallel Computation
-
- Abstract: The speaker will present a new parallel machine model, called LogP,
- that reflects the critical technology trends underlying parallel computers. It
- is intended to serve as a basis for developing fast, portable parallel
- algorithms. Within the model a distributed-memory parallel computer is
- described by four parameters that specify its computing resources and the
- functional characteristics of its interconnection network. Examples will be
- given to illustrate the analysis of algorithms within this model, and the
- model's predictions will be compared with actual performance on the CM-5.
