Announcing a Multi-threading and Parallelism Workshop

May 31st – June 1st 2007, CERN

Registrations are now closed.
Considering the interest, we might be organizing another instance of this workshop in autumn.

 

As researchers are reaching the limits of processor performance improvements by frequency scaling, it is clear that the future of computing lies in the effective utilization of parallel and multi-core architectures. Since this significant change in computing has already begun, it is vital for programmers to be aware of the possibilities and dangers which lie ahead.

 

A Multi-threading and Parallelism Workshop will be held on the 31st of May and 1st of June at CERN. Experts from Intel will lead the two day event and help you improve your knowledge by explaining the key intricacies of parallel programming and presenting the most efficient solutions to popular multi-threading problems. A hands-on lab is also planned where participants will be able to improve their understanding of multi-threaded programming methodologies and learn to use tools for debugging and profiling multi-threaded applications.

 

Event highlights:

The workshop will take place in building 593 at the Meyrin site of CERN. Here is a map of the surrounding area.

The agenda is as follows:
