17th Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Processing; September 22-25, 2004; West Lafayette, IN

连续第17年，我们正在组织并行计算语言和编译器国际研讨会。本次研讨会涵盖了语言、编译器技术、运行时环境以及并行和高性能计算的体系结构的所有方面。自1988年以来，一年一度的LCPC研讨会为领先的研究人员和实践者提供了一个论坛，展示他们的最新工作并就未来的发展方向交换意见。多年来，在研讨会论文集上发表的论文被广泛引用，其中许多论文代表了创新思想的第一次公开展示。这次的参与是真正的国际化，演讲者来自美国、日本和欧洲。虽然研讨会涵盖了许多主题，但重点始终是软件，例如编译器、语言、运行时系统、并行系统的性能评估。这个研讨会最重要的一个方面是它的非正式环境，它允许坦率地交换新的，以前未发表的想法。此外，LCPC也为研究生提供了一个非正式的机会，让他们在这个非正式的环境中与更资深的研究人员见面。

For the 17th consecutive year we are organizing the InternationalWorkshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing. This workshop covers all aspects of languages, compiler techniques, run-time environments, and architectures for parallel and high-performance computing. Since 1988, the annual LCPC workshops have provided a forum for leading researchers and practitioners to present their latest work and to exchange ideas about future directions. The papers published in the proceedings of the workshop have been widely cited over the years and many of them have represented the _rst public presentationof innovative ideas. The participation is truly international with speakers from the US, Japanand Europe.While the workshop covers many topics, the emphasis has always been software, e.g., compilers, languages, run-time systems, performance evaluation for parallel systems.One of the most important aspects of this workshop is its informal setting which allows a frank exchange of new, previously unpublished ideas. Moreover, LCPC has also been an occasion for graduate students to meet more senior researchers in this informal setting.
