Multi-core Systems: Architecture and Programming

The Multi-core project is a new initiative run by the  Department of Computer Science at the  University of Aarhus.

Resources about the Cell and related topics are located on the Resources page.

• 14-5-2008: 17-6-2008 has been set as the delivery date for reports on the study group projects - Klaus

• 24-4-2008: The room for the study group has been changed to Ada-018 - Klaus

• 22-4-2008: Duc Vianney sent a list of open source projects on the Cell, see the Resources page - Klaus

• 11-3-2008: If a group wants to look into optimizing (SIMDing and parallelizing) but lack some concrete code I have an old project that may serve as benchmark. It is a genetic algorithms system that search for "intelligent" AI players for a strategic board game. The genetic algorithm creates a population of 512 AI players and use evolutionary processes in which these players compete. Thus a lot of tournements have to take place which are obvious candidates for parallelism. Also the GA algorithms may probably be SIMD. -Henrik

• 10-3-2008: Note that the number of participants in the study group seems to have reached the limit at this point. We have just sent out requests for confirmation that the people we have registered so far are actually seriously committed to participate. If we end up having more participants than we have room for then we will select participants based on the received material (including the motivation for participating).

• 10-3-2008: A preliminary schedule for the study group is now online.

• On April 10+11 a two day Seminar on Cell Programming will be held by Duc J Vianney.

• 28-2-2008: The time slot has now been decided to Thursday 15.15-17.00

• Please check out the study group for a brief description of the project and information about how you can be a part of it!
