Presentation: "The Concurrency Revolution: The Hardware Story"
Track:
The Concurrency challenge
Time: Tuesday 10:15 - 11:15 Location: Archauz
Abstract: Everyone is saying we need a revolution in the way we approach concurrency;
the availability of cheap multiprocessor systems has brought concurrency,
which used to be a topic for experts only, into the foreground. How did we
get here? Why are the performance-enhancing techniques that worked for twenty
years no longer working, and how did this become such a problem that we have
to change our programming models? In this talk, we'll dive under the hood and
look at the hardware trends that have forced us to turn away from increasing
sequential performance and towards multicore CPUs and chip multi-threading,
and look at the implications for software design and performance analysis.
Keywords:Multicore, concurrency, performance. Target audience: Advanced engineers who are interested in performance management and tuning, trends in software design, or anyone who is interesting in understanding the magic under the hood. Presentation: "Concurrency Expert Panel"
Track:
The Concurrency challenge
Time: Tuesday 13:30 - 14:30 Location: Archauz
Abstract:
One theme of the panel is concurrent programming models. Specifically; classic locking, transactional memory and actors. And with concurrency we mean parallel systems (e.g. shared-memory multicore, cluster)
Another goal is:
