itaps-parallel ITAPS short course at IMR 2010?

[Mark Shephard]

Karen,

I have lectured a number of times in the IMR short courses. Typically 
most of the lectures are pretty high level, not much technical detail. I 
some of the stuff was getting a bit old. Thus I expect they are looking 
for something that is a bit more technically specific, based on Martin's 
comments somewhere between a detailed tutorial and a more high level 
overview thing.

I would suggest something not dissimilar to the key technical parts of a 
iMeshP presentation. That is to overall design of iMeshP and why that 
its design. Then go into a bit more detail to discuss how we implemented 
the design. From there talking about various meshing services, 
particularly Zoltan, and its use would be good. Then including 
information on parallel services as you indicated below would be good.
