Five Days Technology Training & Workshop
on
Performance Enhancement through Software Multi-threading
(ProMCore-2008)
Venue:
CMSD, Univeristy of Hyderabad
Date:
February 05-09, 2008
Jointly Organized by:
Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, University of Pune, Pune &
Centre for Modelling Simulation and Design (CMSD), University of Hyderabad (UoH)
C-DAC's SECOND Technology Training Programme & Workshop
The key objective of the technoogy training prorgamme & workshop
was to develop outstanding IT professionals who are in touch with the
latest Parallel Processing technology areas, and are equipped with excellent problem skills by
collaborating with the various institutions in
India.
To achieve objectives, the focus on one of the core areas like Multi-Core Programming has
been identified.
The five-days technoogy training prorgamme & workshop on
Programming on Multi Core Processors (Performance Enhancement through
Software Multi-threading) ProMCore 2008 was based on Current trends in Multi-core Processors.
The ProMCore-2008 technical programme discusses an overview of Multi-Core Architectures, and Programming on Multi-Core Processors.
Examples using different programming paradigms (Pthreads/OpenMP/MPI/Java) with rich set of Tools, Tuning and
Performance of multi-threaded programs, Performance of Benchmarks using Math Kernel Libraries on Quad Socket
Quad Core systems are covered.
Some of the research areas on Multi-core Processors such as
Multi Core- Programming using Pthreads, OpenMP; Multi Core -Performance -Tools;
Multi Core -Memory allocators; Performance enhancement through Software Mutli-threading;
Multi Core-Tuning & Performance - Compiler Optimization; Message Passing Programming - MPI;
Data Parallel Programming- f90/f95; Hands-on Session on Multi Core Processors
Multi Core - Intel Thread Building Blocks (TBB).
This training proramme will give insights into performance aspects of sequential /parallel
programs using different programming paradigms. Participants will use Intel
Multi Core systems, Cluster of Multi Core Processors. Topics such as
Multi Core- Programming using Pthreads, OpenMP; Multi Core -Performance -Tools;
Multi Core -Memory allocators; Performance enhancement through Software Mutli-threading;
Multi Core-Tuning & Performance - Compiler Optimization; Message Passing Programming - MPI;
Data Parallel Programming- f90/f95; Hands-on Session on Multi Core Processor systems
are discussed.
The Betatesting Group, National PARAM Supercomputing Facility (NPSF),
C-DAC
initiated the SECOND Technology
Training Programme
programme for C-DAC members and close collaborators.
The Betatesting Group seeks to enhance the knowledge quotient of members through training
on technically advanced concepts and techniques related to Parallel Processing, and Grid
Computing, and other emerging areas of Information Technology.
The Betatesting Group, C-DAC, Pune in collaboration with other members of C-DAC, and external
experts will provide inputs on HPC
technology
trends, deliver technical lectures that will focus on macro view of the current technology trends, skill
set requirements
and hands-on.
The Betatesting Group, C-DAC, Pune are being involved in test, certify, and performance
of Application and System Benchmarks of PARAM Series. Also, the group initiated technology
workshops on performance aspects of programming on emerging Parallel Processing & Grid Computing
platforms. The group conducted technology workshops on Grid computing (C-DAc, Pune & Bengalore 2004, Anna University-2005, GRIPSI-2007)
in collaboration with leading academic institutions and premier research and development
organizations.
