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.
