Practical Parallel Programming

Presenter: Tiberiu Covaci
Time: 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 106

After more than 40 years Moore's law is still going strong, and it looks like it will continue to do so for at least ten years more. The problem we face now is that the speed of the processors is not physically possible to increase anymore, so instead the hardware manufacturers decided to give us more processors on the same chip. How this affect us as programmers? The free performance lunch is over, unless we change the way we think and program our applications, and the question is not IF, but rather WHEN. Luckily, Microsoft realized that already, and with the new Visual Studio 2010 they will introduce new technologies like Concurrency Runtime, Task Parallel Library, and Parallel LINQ to help us transition to parallel programming.
