UPCRC Illinois Summer School on Multicore Programming - July 2010
July 19-23, 2010
Siebel Center for Computer Science
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
**Our Online Application is Now Closed**
The 2010 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 multicore application needs.
Visit here to learn what participants had to say about our 2009 summer school.
Please Note: This program is a one-week, intensive workshop and does not provide credit toward a degree program.
Prerequisites
- a solid understanding of and experience with programming
(preferably with C, C++, C#, and/or Java languages) - a demonstrated interest in applying multicore programming to academic or professional pursuits

Online participants will watch lectures, lab introductions, and lab solutions via live streaming and will have online access to multicore servers for lab projects. Each lecture and structured lab session will feature a live, moderated chat system for submitting questions. We recommend online participants attend in real-time. However, video content will also be archived in the My Summer School Account for those who are unable to attend online during US Central time zone schedules. Online international applicants should ensure reliable internet connectivity and bandwith before applying.
All participants will have access to an online chat/forum system for asking questions about lectures/labs, requesting TA support, sharing ideas, and providing peer support.
