CERN openlab /
Intel Spring 2009
Multi-Threading and
Parallelism Workshop
(2 - 3 June 2009, CERN)
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 fifth instance of the Multi-threading and
Parallelism Workshop will be held on the 2nd
and 3rd of June 2009 at CERN. An
Intel expert and two openlab
staff
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. Two hands-on labs are 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. Non-expert users should feel more
than welcome, as the course is a great
opportunity to improve their knowledge.
Event highlights:
Pre-requisites:
-
Familiarity with the C
or C++ programming language
-
Basic knowledge of
Linux
The workshop is organised by CERN openlab for users
affiliated with CERN, free of charge at this
time. Registrations are based on a
first-come first-served basis – 40 seats are
available for the lectures and 15 seats for the
labs – please indicate which are of interest to
you during registration. Both labs are different
and both should be attended in case the lab is
of interest. Go to
EDH in order to register. All registrations
will be confirmed by e-mail – a registration in
EDH does not yet guarantee a place in the
workshop.
