✦ Synopsis

This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Languages, Compilers, and Run-Time Systems for Scalable Computing, LCR '98, held in Pittsburgh, PA, USA in May 1998.
The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 47 submissions; also included are nine refereed short papers. All current issues of developing software systems for parallel and distributed computers are covered, in particular irregular applications, automatic parallelization, run-time parallelization, load balancing, message-passing systems, parallelizing compilers, shared memory systems, client server applications, etc.
