This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Symposium on High Performance Computing, ISHPC '97, held in Fukuoka, Japan in November 1997. The volume presents four distinguished papers and 16 revised regular papers selected from more than 40 submissions on the basis of at least three peer reviews. Also included are seven invited contributions by leading authorities and 10 selected poster presentations. The papers are organized in topical chapters on high performance systems architectures, networks, compilers, systems software, and applications in various areas.
