Multicore software engineering: the next challenge in software engineering
This tutorial at ICSE 2010 prepares software engineers for the challenge of writing parallel applications of all sorts, and needs to quickly grasp the relevant aspects of general-purpose parallel programming.
Abstract
Due to stagnating clock rates, future increases in processor performance will have to come from parallelism. Inexpensive multicore processors with several cores on a chip have become standard in PCs, laptops, servers, and embedded devices will follow; manycore chips with hundreds of processors on a single chip are predicted. Software engineers are now asked to write parallel applications of all sorts, and need to quickly grasp the relevant aspects of general-purpose parallel programming. This tutorial at ICSE 2010 prepares them for this challenge.
