Summary of the 1998 SIGMETRICS Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing Editors: Jeffrey Ki Hollingsworth and Barton P. Miller Student Note Takers: Cheng Liao Kathleen Lindlan Joao Lourenco Tia Newhall Bryan Buck Lynn Daley Delbert Hart Chu Jong Ahmet Ozmen H e e D o n g Park Sergio Torres-Varela Wanging W u The 2nd SIGMETRICS Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Tools (SPDT98) was held on August 3-4, 1998. The goal of this conference was to bring together researchers, developers, and users in the area of tools for parallel and distributed programming. Technical areas include performance profiling, debugging, visualization, program steering, checkpointing, and experience reports. The conference included two invited talks, one on the Department of Energy's ASCI program and one on the new IA64 processor architecture. The conference also included technical paper sessions and a panel of independent software vendors (ISV's) in the area of parallel tools. The invited talks lasted approximated one hour each, followed by an extended question period. The panel included 10-minute position statements by each panelist, followed by a question period. The technical sessions included 25-rninute talks, each followed a short question period. At the end of each session, there was a "mini-panel"
