Programming the Multi-Core CPU

The Research in Computer Science Seminar Presents: Programming the Multi-Core CPU by Andrew Thall

Abstract

As increases in CPU clock-speeds have slowed, hardware-designers look for other ways to handle demands for more computational power. This talk will explore multi-core CPU programming---writing multiprocessing and multithreaded applications for those CPUs with multiple computational units on a single chip. We will discuss possible speed-ups for different types of computation and will see some totally sweet examples of optimized code running on dual-core processors.
