Guang Gao and Charles E. Leiserson will present invited talks at IWOMP 2006 in Reims, FRANCE. Dr. Gao, the founder and director of the Computer Architecture and Parallel Systems Lab at the University of Delaware, will examine how OpenMP maps to multi-core processor-based petaflop systems on Juune 12, 2006. The following day, Dr. Leiserson, who is the Director of System Architecture, Director of Research, and Network Architect at Akamai Technologies and a professor at MIT, will present the Cilk programming language, a topic that is particularly relevant to directions for the OpenMP 3.0 specification that will likely add support for additional parallelism models such as task queues.In other news, the IWOMP paper submission deadline has been extended to March 22.
