RTSPP 98 Workshop Being Held March 30, 1998 in Orlando, Florida

并行系统对于并行编程语言和库的实现至关重要。 它们提供了特定编程模型的核心功能，以及模型与底层硬件和操作系统之间的粘合剂。 因此，运行时系统对并行编程系统的性能和可移植性有很大的影响。 尽管运行时系统很重要，但很少有论坛可以让实践者交流他们的想法，这些论坛通常是展示外围领域的论坛，如语言，操作系统和并行计算。 这个研讨会将为来自不同背景的运行时系统设计人员提供一个论坛，讨论设计和实现并行编程运行时系统的最新技术。 RTSPP的重点不是关注语言或编译器，而是直接关注运行时系统的设计和评估。

Runtime systems are critical to the implementation of parallel programming languages and libraries. They provide the core functionality of a particular programming model and the glue between the model and the underlying hardware and operation system. As such, runtime systems have a large impact on the performance and portability of parallel programming systems. Despite the importance of runtime systems, there are few forums in which practitioners can exchange their ideas, and these are typically forums showcasing peripheral areas, such as languages, operating systems, and parallel computing. This Workshop on Runtime Systems for Parallel Programming (RTSPP) will provide a forum for bringing together runtime system designers from various backgrounds to discuss the state-of-the-art in designing and implementing runtime systems for parallel programming. Rather than focusing on languages or compilers, the focus of RTSPP is squarely on runtime system design and evaluation.
