UPCRC Illinois Summer School on Multicore Programming
June 22-26, 2009
Siebel Center for Computer Science
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The 2009 UPCRC Illinois Summer School offers experienced programmers, with little or no exposure to parallelism, an opportunity to learn about multicore programming.
Program
Our program will provide a solid foundation in the fundamentals of multicore programming, offer hands-on experience with the use of multicore languages and libraries, and introduce emerging research topics. Upon completion, participants will be familiar with available tools, languages, and libraries that can be used to develop parallel programs, the pros and cons of those utilities, and will be able to choose the programming environment that best matches their application needs.
Prerequisites
- a solid understanding and experience with programming
- an interest in applying multicore programming to current/future academic or professional pursuits
