National Center for Supercomputing Applications - NCSA The University of Illinois' Marc Snir, who is a co-PI on the Blue Waters sustained-petascale computing project, will take part in the "Breaking the Barriers to Parallelization" BOF tomorrow at SC09. 12:15 p.m. in room D139-140.
scyourway.supercomputing.org
With the proliferation of multicore processors and commodity clusters EVERYONE should be writing parallelized applications by now, shouldn't they? Outside of the HPC community there is a growing awareness that in the future all programs will need to be designed and developed to exploit parallelism. ...
