This volume presents the proceedings of the joint meetingCONPAR 92 - VAPP V, held in Lyon, France, September 1992.The international Conferences on Parallel Processing(CONPAR) and the meetings on Vector and Parallel Processorsin computational science (VAPP) have been held jointly sinceCONPAR 90 - VAPP IV, held in Zurich.The aim of the meeting presented in this volume is to reviewhardware and architecture developmentstogether withlanguages and software tools for supporting parallelprocessing and to highlight advances in models, algorithms,andapplications software on vector and parallelarchitectures. The papers in the volume are organized intosections on networks, software tools, distributedalgorithms, dedicated architectures, numerical applications,systolic algorithms, parallel linear algebra, architectures,shared virtual memory, load balancing, data parallelism,parallel algorithms, image processing, compiling andscheduling, simulation and performance analysis, parallelartificialintelligence, dataflow architectures, parallelprogramming, and poster presentations.
