Friday, 11:20 - 12:10
Track: Meanwhile
By 2009 almost all servers, laptops and desktop PCs will have multicore processors, the software development community is rather slow at adopting the parallel paradigm. In this presentation we give some tips that will help the developer avoid some of the known pitfalls in parallel programming. These tips are based on experience gained in real-world applications. The underlying technical limitations and challenges of programming for multicore are discussed along with implementation examples
