Guest Lecture by Jim Cownie (Intel)
Jim Cownie of Intel will be giving a guest lecture as part of the 4th year HPC (CS402) module. The hour-long lecture will take place Friday 17th February at 12pm in CS1.01.
The title of the talk is "Beyond threads: scalable composable parallelism with Cilk and TBB" where he will be discussing alternative programming models for new and future hardware. In particular Jim's talk will address:
- What’s happening in micro-electronics and what does it mean for architectures and HPC?
- What do we mean by “scalable” and “composable” parallelism?
- What’s wrong with threads and OpenMP?
- What isIntel® Cilk™ Plus?
- What is TBB?
- Why do they matter to HPC? (Where are we going withIntelMIC?)
