Developing Manycore Applications with Concurrency Auto-Tuners

Continuing on with our coverage of ICSE 2011, meet Dr. Victor Pankratius. Dr. Pankratius heads the Multicore Software Engineering investigator group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. He also serves as the elected chairman of the Software Engineering for parallel Systems (SEPARS) international working group. Dr. Pankratius' current research concentrates on how to make parallel programming easier. His work on multicore software engineering covers a range of research topics including empirical studies, auto-tuning, language design, and debugging.

In this video, Wolfram Schulte joins Victor to discuss the challenges of making concurrency easier for developers. One of the really interesting approaches that Victor and team are investigating is concurrency auto-tuning, and the example discussed here involve adding OS kernel-level support for auto-tuning user mode applications for manycore processor architectures. This is very fascinating research with great potential. Concurrency auto-tuner in an OS kernel? Concurrency-enlightened operating systems? Why not? Always great to meet young innovators with no fear of failure. I hope to see this type of thing materialize. Very interesting research and real world problem. Go Victor. Go!

Thanks to Wolfram and Victor for another great conversation. Tune in.

Could you write about Physics so I can pass Sceicne class?

Excellent post. Lot of useful points are there. Its really keeps me updated.

I enjoyed those interviews that Charles and Wolfram Shutte did. Wolfram is like Eric Meijer in that he so deeply gets it that he can ask questions that make the interview flow

I do chuckle however at the way he compulsively expresses things in the "in some sense" monad ;-)

btw: relieved to see some posts from Charles on Going Deep -I swear that Going Deep is the one thing that keeps me coming back for more microsoft -after a week of a broken channel9.msdn.com/Niners/Charles I was fearing Charles had been killed by a renaissance pointer and no one had told us

I'm interested in such offer,The sound quality in these podcasts is really poor. I feel bad about complaining about something that is free, but I think it is important.

Habt Ihr euch schon immer gefragt die erste Schwangerschaftsanzeichen sind ob euch mit einem Wunder gesegnet hat. Dann schaut auf folgender Homepage dort findet Ihr alles wichtige Informationen im übrigen Symptome der ersten Schwangerschaftsanzeichen. Lesen Sie selber ansonsten aufstöbern Sie oberbürgermeister Sie schwanger sind oder nicht entsprechend die ersten Schwangerschaftsanzeichen bemerkbar zeugen. merkt ich, dass ich schwanger bin, möchten Sie eine größere anzahl Information nach den ersten Schwangerschaftsanzeichen oder Schwangerschaftsbeschwerden? alles wichtige aufstöbern Sie folgender Homepage. http://leseinfo24.de/erste-schwangerschaftsanzeichen/

I'll be honest, I've been coeemptlly oblivious to this. I had no idea Google was busy creating their own programming language. And I think this is honestly ridiculous. Google is getting WAY to powerful. They have the most popular website on the internet. Heck, they own the internet with Google Analytics and Adsense that most webmasters rely on. Their own line of very popular smartphones. Their own operating system. Their own social network. Their own computer line. The most popular web browser.Heck, they even have cars that drive themselves. Soon every product in our homes will be owned by Google. Okay, not really, but you get my point. They're branching out too far here. Do you agree?

Hi Prof. Armando,I would like to use your Cloud Stone workload to test in-house cloud enoinvnmert. Is it possible that you share the links to Cloud Stone AMI? Thanks.

Cedric,I'm trying to oainrgze an ALT.Dev patterns, practices, tools and agile open spaces conference in Boston (next spring) of a kind that was never done before how about combining Alt.Net and Java architects and developers to talk about these topics? All in all we do the same things and there is no reason to have 2 fighting camps.Will you be interested in participating in such an event? Shoot me an e-mail for more details (I don't have your direct e-mail).
