Modern computing hardware offers multiple processor cores to complete tasks. Since a single processor core only increases ever so slightly year over year, more and more software makes use of multiple processor cores. However, developing and analyzing parallel software is a challenging task.

In this seminar, we look at scientific publications that address the creation and analysis of parallel software. The topics include:

  • dependency analysis and dependency representations
  • modeling and effects of weak-memory behavior
  • semantics of concurrent systems
  • static and dynamic analysis of concurrent systems
  • automated parallelization

 

Learning Objectives

After successfully participating in this course, you will be able to discuss developments in concurrency and parallelism. Furthermore, you will have improved your skills in reading and understanding scientific articles and in presenting, discussing, and comparing scientific results.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of Computer Science equivalent to the first four semesters in the Computer Science Bachelor program.
