Announcing the CERN openlab / Intel -
Autumn 2011 9th – 10th November 2011, CERN
As the many-core
era is dawning upon us, it is more apparent than
ever that the future of computing lies in the
effective utilization of parallel and many-core
architectures. Since this significant change in
computing is already well underway, it is highly
beneficial for programmers to be aware of the
possibilities and dangers which lie ahead. Event highlights: • Day 1, AM: Lectures
o Fundamental
aspects of multi-threaded and parallel computing • Day 1, PM: Hands-on lab #1
o Intel Threading
Tools overview • Day 2 AM: Lectures o NUMA and inter-node communication discussion o Advanced threaded programming methodology and scalability issues
o Further
discussion on tools and technologies • Day 2 PM: Hands-on lab #2 o Parallel programming exercises in Linux environments Pre-requisites:
• Familiarity with
the C or C++ programming language
The workshop is
organised by CERN openlab for users affiliated
with CERN, free of charge at this time.
