ACADEMIA

The Shanghai Many-Core Workshop brings together research and industry for the purpose of solving critical issues related to many-core (100+ core) systems. As Moore's Law evolves into Moore's Core, hardware vendors are faced with the new reality of stagnant single processor-core performance, and the need to efficiently utilize many parallel streams. While current multi-core (2-8 core) systems have effectively pushed into new levels of computational throughput, future improvements will depend on many-(more)-cores and even more significantly keeping these cores busy. Come hear industries perspective on the significance of this technology and participate in open discussions as experts from industry and research wrestle with these complex unanswered problems. The Shanghai Many-Core Workshop is architecture neutral and will focus on the pitfalls and potential of many-core (100+ core) systems with a particular focus on parallelizing code. This workshop will be held on the Fudan main campus (Shanghai, China) March 27-28, 2008. Workshop details are available at www.gelato.org/etws/.
