Topic 11: Multicore and Manycore Programming
Description
Modern multi-core and many-core systems offer impressive performance for various applications. However, achieving this performance is a challenging task. While multi-core processors alleviate several problems that are related to single-core processors -- known as memory wall, power wall, or instruction-level parallelism wall -- they raise the issue of the programmability wall. The multi-core programmability wall calls for new parallel programming methods and tools. Therefore, this topic focuses on novel solutions for efficient programming of multi-core and many-core processors in the context of general-purpose and embedded systems.
