[Air-L] 2013 UPMARC Summer School on Multicore Computing /fw

[Sari]

Call for Participation

The 2013 UPMARC Summer School on Multicore Computing this year focuses 
on research trends for scalable multicore programs and systemsand will 
take place at Uppsala University, Sweden in June 10-12, 2013.

The school is subsidized by the UPMARC research programme of Uppsala 
University (see upmarc.se <http://upmarc.se/>). In particular, 
attendance of the summer school is *free*. (There is only a cancellation 
fee.)

Courses

The school consists of a number of lectures and talks from international 
leaders in their field:

* Cristian Cadar, Imperial College
Testing Your Code With Symbolic Execution

* Erez Petrank, Technion — Israel Institute of Technology
Concurrent Data Structures and Progress Guarantees

* Jesper Larsson Träff, Vienna University of Technology
Challenges in Message-Passing Interfaces for Large-Scale Parallel Systems

* Madan Musuvathi, Microsoft Research
Finding Race Conditions and Data Races

* Margaret Martonosi, Princeton University
TBA

In addition, the school will include a sessions where participants can 
present posters and demos of their own research in the area of 
multicore/parallel computing.

School Objective

The objective of this year's summer school is to offer foundational 
tutorials accompanied by a selection of exiting new emerging 
technologies in the areas of testing for finding errors in concurrent 
programs, on scalable concurrent data structures, challenges in MPI for 
large-scale parallel systems, and on architectural trends for 
power-efficient multicores, all given by leading experts of the 
community. We aim to attract graduate students and young scientists and, 
through tutorials and lectures, prepare them for research on identifying 
and addressing fundamental challenges that will enable all programmers 
to leverage the potential performance from the ongoing shift to 
universal parallel computing. We also aim to provide a fun and 
stimulating environment for students to meet and establish connections 
with other students, world-class researchers from academia and industry, 
local faculty, and other senior scientists.
