Multi-cores / Many-cores 2007
Themes and Goals
The goal of Multi-cores / Many-cores 2007 is to create an environment, which fosters creativity and collaborative discussion. As with our previous Language Runtimes workshops, Multi-cores / Many-Cores 2007 will strive to bring together senior industry product architects with commercial and academic researchers, to discuss how scalable clusters of emerging multi-core processors and their aggregate many-cores can be effectively utilized. To motivate an integrated solution, we hope to foster the cross-pollination and discussion amongst processor / scalable system architects, programming model / runtime architects and library / application architects.
Specific topics of interest, that will be discussed at Multi-cores / Many-cores 2007 include:
- New global consistency models for massively distributed multi-core based systems.
- Highly scalable alternatives to software transactional memory.
- Tools, environments, and algorithms for parallel refactorings.
- Next generations multi-core based fine-grained messaging / remote procedure call models.
- New scalable multi-level parallel programming models for multi-core clusters.
- Integrated compiler, runtime libraries and virtual machine technologies for large-scale multi-core systems.
- Experience reports, leveraging distributed multi-core systems for engineering / entertainment applications.
- New libraries explicitly leveraging large scale distributed multi-core systems.
- Multi-core cluster implications for raytracing, physically based simulation, and rendering systems.
