Parallelizing Code on Many-core Systems Workshop, March 27-28 2008, Shanghai, China

Dear Gelato Federation,

We are in process of planning a workshop on parallelizing code on many-core
(100+ cores) systems. This workshop will be held on the Fudan Zhangjiang
campus (Shanghai, China) March 27-28, 2008. Please reserve the date and
starting thinking about travel arrangements. At the beginning of January, we
will launch a workshop website that will provide you detailed program and
travel information. I will notify you when the workshop website is on-line.

Targeted workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
  * Multi-threading and associated debugging and performance analysis tools
  * Compilers and run-time systems
  * Programming models
  * Transactional memory
  * Parallel libraries
  * Performance analysis, debugging, and tuning tools
  * Workload characterization
  * Heterogeneous multi-core systems 

VISA Invitation Letters: For those you needing a VISA invitation letter,
please contact Andy Schuh (aschuh@...) as soon as possible to allow
sufficient processing time.

All the best for the Holidays and the New Year,

Mark

Workshop on Multicore Software Engineering, Leipzig, Germany, May 11, 2008

CALL FOR PAPERS - IWMSE 2008

International Workshop on 
Multicore Software Engineering (IWMSE)

May 11, 2008, Leipzig, Germany

http://www.multicore-systems.org/iwmse

co-located with the 30th International Conference 
on Software Engineering (ICSE), May 10-18, 2008
_________________________________________________

With the emergence of multicore computers, software engineers 
face the challenge of parallelizing performance-critical 
applications of all sorts. Compared to sequential applications, 
our repertoire of tools and methods for cost-effectively developing 
reliable, parallel applications is spotty. The purpose of this 
workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners 
with diverse backgrounds in order to advance the state of the 
art in software engineering for multi/manycore parallel applications.

The workshop is aimed at making parallelism available to a wide 
range of applications using systematic software engineering 
methodology. We seek a broad variety of work that furthers 
the knowledge and understanding of the software engineering 
and parallel systems communities as a whole, continues a 
significant research dialog, or pushes the architectural 
boundaries of multicore software. We solicit original, 
previously unpublished papers of current or work-in-progress

Leaving HP

Hello Gelato members,

I don't think I posted this message to the Gelato lists.
You may have seen it on other lists, sorry about that.

After 11 years at HP Labs, I have decided to resign to pursue a job
opportunity at another high tech company.

This change will *not* affect my commitment to the perfmon2 project. In my
new job, I will dedicate some official time to continue its development.
There are lots of very interesting things we can do with this technology.
But for now, we all need to focus on the merge into the mainline kernel.

Many of you know me by now and I think you understand my dedication to this
project, so rest assured that I will continue to produce patches, accept
patches, participate in the discussions on mailing lists, explain what the
interface does and why it does it.

I am proud to have a very active community of users and developers covering
a very wide spectrum of hardware and interests. I think I have always treated
everybody fairly regardless of who they work for or the hardware they use.
I have received a lot of recognition and appreciation in return and I do
really appreciate it.

In terms of logistics, all questions should be directed to the perfmon2
mailing-list at perfmon2-devel@... The HPlabs web site has
been updated to point to the Sourceforge site.

My last day at HP will be Dec 21st. From now on, you can contact me
at <eranian at gmail.com>.
