TUTORIAL 1
High
Performance Data Mining
Vipin Kumar, University of Minnesota
Mahesh Joshi, University of Minnesota
Audience: Graduate students, professionals
working in an industry which has to deal with high volumes of data, and anybody who is interested in getting a head start in the field of high performance data mining. The intended level of presentation is 35% beginner, 35% intermediate, 30% advanced.
Course Description: The last decade has seen an explosive growth in database technology and the amount of data collected. This has created an unprecedented opportunity for "data mining", which is a process of efficient supervised or unsupervised discovery of interesting information hidden in the data. Some of the common tasks in data mining are classification, discovery of association rules, and clustering. First part of this tutorial will provide an overview of what these tasks are and what are the algorithms used to accomplish them. Due to the huge size of data and amount of computation involved in data mining algorithms, parallel processing is often considered an essential component
for a successful data mining solution. The second part of the tutorial will present high performance parallel formulations of the algorithms used for classification based on decision trees and discovery of association rules. The tutorial will also draw
parallels between algorithms used for data mining and high performance scientific computing.
Lecturers: Vipin Kumar is currently a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Minnesota. His current research focuses on parallel computing and data mining.
Mahesh Joshi is currently pursuing his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota. His research interests include parallel scientific computing and high performance data mining.
8:30 AM - NOON
TUTORIAL 2
Mobile
Wireless Communication and Computing
Sajal K. Das, University of North Texas,
Denton
Audience: This tutorial is intended for computer professionals, telecommunication engineers, researchers, educators, and graduate students interested in the state-of-the-art topics in the cutting-edge technology of cellular mobile communication and computing.
Course Description: The field of mobile computing builds on wireless communication, architecture and networks; heterogeneous distributed systems; information management and application development. We will first introduce various fundamental concepts in wireless communications such as cellular architecture, PCS, TDMA, CDMA, bandwidth
management, and handoff. Then we will discuss solutions to various mobility-induced problems like mobile file management, location management and prediction, mobile inter-networking, disconnections handling, data security, and so on. Finally, we will present current research and technology to support quality of service (QoS) in wireless multimedia applications and mobile IP for next generation wireless networks.
Lecturer: Sajal K. Das is a Full Professor of Computer Sciences and also the Director of the Center for Research in Wireless Computing at the University of North Texas, Denton. He received his BS in 1983 from Calcutta University, ME in 1985 from the Indian Institute of Science, and PhD in 1988 from University of the Central Florida at Orlando, all in computer science.
8:30 AM - NOON
TUTORIAL 3
Java
Programming and Compilation
Milind Girkar, Microcomputer Research
Labs, Intel Corporation
Audience: Application and system programmers, compiler writers, anybody interested in high performance Java. Assumed knowledge about object oriented languages, code generation techniques.
Course Description: Java was introduced as a programming language for the internet in May 1995 by Sun Microsystems. This tutorial will introduce some of the main features of Java (classes, inheritance, interfaces, exceptions, threading, applets) through examples. Java programs are compiled into Java bytecode and run on the Java Virtual Machine. The tutorial will cover the architecture and the bytecode instruction set of the Java Virtual Machine. To improve performance of Java programs, Java bytecode is often Just-In-Time compiled into native machine code. The tutorial will present an approach for doing JIT compilation and touch upon many issues in the implementation of Java language features.
Lecturer: Milind Girkar received his PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Currently, he is a senior software engineer in Intel's Microcomputer Research Labs. His research interests are in parallelizing and optimizing compilers.
1:30 PM - 5:00 PM
TUTORIAL 4
High-Performance
I/O Systems: From Architectures to Applications
Alok Choudhary, Northwestern University
Audience: Researchers, students and industry people with the basic knowledge of architectures and software. People working in the areas of applications or system software for distributed/parallel computing. Highly useful for beginners
and advanced users interested in information processing, multimedia and scientific domains. The intended level of presentation is 35% Beginner, 45% Intermediate, 20% Advanced.
Course Description: Large-scale computing includes many application areas with intensive I/O demands, including scientific computing, databases, mining, decision support, and multimedia. For high-performance, it is critical to improve I/O performance of these applications. There are many solutions at different levels to address I/O performance problems. This tutorial presents architecture and software issues in designing scalable and efficient parallel I/O systems as well as I/O requirements, characteristics and examples from application domains of science and engineering, databases and multimedia systems.
Lecturer: Alok Choudhary is on the Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty at Northwestern University. Alok Choudhary received the National Science Foundation's Young Investigator Award in 1993 (1993-1999). He has also received an IBM Faculty Development award and an Intel Research Council award.
1:30 PM - 5:00 PM
TUTORIAL 5
Architectural
and Design Implications of Mediaprocessing
Pradeep K. Dubey, IBM Solutions Research
Centre, New Delhi, India
Audience: Students, academics, and professionals interested in system/processor design implications of multimedia processing, as well as multimedia application developers interested in processor/ system level application tuning.
Course Description: The recent surge of interest in programmable mediaprocessing is unprecedented. It has the potential of radically altering the nature and needs of "general-purpose" processing. Consequently, almost every general purpose processor architecture has been modified to better perform multimedia applications, and a host of mediaprocessors have surfaced claiming significantly superior cost-performance tradeoff. This tutorial will explain the basics of programmable mediaprocessing from the point of view of a processor architect and designer. A brief description of various emerging/ projected multimedia scenarios will be followed by a detailed discussion of various architectural and design implications. We will conclude with performance analysis of selected kernels, tasks, and scenarios. Discussion of these topics will include comparative examples from various mediaprocessing platforms, including SPARC/VIS, Intel/MMX, PA-RISC/MAX, MIPS/MDMX, Chromatics/Mpact, Philips/Trimedia, MicroUnity, and PowerPC/AltiVec. The information will solely be based on published reports of these platforms.
Lecturer:
Pradeep K. Dubey is a Research Staff Member at the IBM Solutions Research Centre, New
Delhi, India, where he is now working on topics related to multimedia applications and
embedded systems. He has previously worked at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown
Heights, New York, and at Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, California. He received a BS in
electronics and communication engineering from Birla Institute of Technology, India, an
MSEE from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and a PhD in electrical engineering
from Purdue University.

Chennai (formerly Madras) is the largest city in South India with over 5 million residents. It is the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu and is regarded as the modern day center of the Dravidian culture. Carnatic (South Indian)classical music and dance festivals are held annually during the month of December.
