Seminar Parallel Programming - Winter 2011 / 12
Facing increasing power dissipation and little instruction-level parallelism left to exploit, computer architects are realizing further performance gains by placing multiple "slower" processor cores on a chip rather than by building faster uniprocessors. As a consequence, application performance will increasingly depend on the efficient use of parallelism.
Students attending this seminar will be assigned topics related to state-of-the-art technology in the field of parallel programming. Based on the assignment, every student will perform the following tasks under the guidance of a supervisor:
• Search for relevant literature
• Write a topic summary
• Prepare a talk of 40 min during which the topic is presented to other participants
- Prof. Dr. Felix Wolf
- Dr. Daniel Becker
- Alexandru Calotoiu
- Marc-André Hermanns
- Monika Lücke
- Suraj Prabhakaran
- Sebastian Rinke
- Aamer Shah
- Christian Siebert
- Zoltan Szebenyi
