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 4^th and 5^th of October 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. Non-expert users should feel more than welcome, as the course is a great opportunity to refresh their knowledge.

The workshop is co-organized by CERN openlab and Intel.

Registrations are based on a first-come first-served basis by sending e-mail to openlab.workshops@cern.ch.
50 seats are available for day 1 and 40 seats for day 2 – please indicate which are of interest to you in your registration message. All registrations will be confirmed by e-mail.
