Announcing the CERN openlab / Intel
Autumn 2010 Multi-threading and Parallelism Workshop
November 10th –
November 11th 2010, 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 utilisation of parallel and multi-core
architectures. Since this significant change in computing is well underway, it
is highly beneficial for programmers to be aware of the possibilities and
dangers which lie ahead.
Another instance of
the classic Multi-threading and Parallelism Workshop will be held on the 10th
and 11th of October at CERN. An Intel expert and four of the
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 sessions of 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:
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
25 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. Contact
us for further information.
