The IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC) provides a forum for presenting the latest research findings that unify parallel and distributed computing. In HPDC environments, parallel or distributed computing techniques are applied to the solution of computationally intensive applications across networks of computers.

Keynote Speakers

Conference Program

Location:

The conference will be held August 5-8, 1997 on the campus of Portland State University in beautiful downtown Portland, Oregon. From the conference site it is an easy walk through the lush "park blocks" to fine dining, shopping, and museums. Portland is home to the nation's largest urban wilderness area (5,000-acre Forest Park), the country's largest independent bookseller (Powell's City of Books/Technical Bookstore), and more microbreweries and brew pubs than any other American city. On Thursday evening we will enjoy a dinner cruise on the Willamette River aboard "The Spirit of Portland."

Portland weather in early August is normally hot and dry, with highs in the 80s and lows in the 50s.

Plan to come early or stay late: there's lots to see and do near Portland. Visit Mt. St. Helens National Monument, enjoy the world's best wind surfing in the Gorge, try summer skiing on Mt. Hood, or head for the beach.
