UKHEC Seminar:
Programming Shared Memory Systems
2pm, Friday 8th November 2002
Rm 3305 (Training Room)
EPCC, The University of Edinburgh
James Clerk Maxwell Building
Edinburgh EH9 3JZ
and
Access Grid nodes
Shared Memory Systems
A significant number of parallel computers utilise shared memory
architectures. This can take the form of a single box containing many
processing elements, all accessing the same memory, or a cluster
of such boxes, linked with some interconnect, allowing the boxes to be
used as a single resource.
This half-day seminar consists of 3 talks concerned with the programming
of these architectures.
The event will start at 2pm. The programme will include the following talks.
Mark Bull (EPCC,
University of Edinburgh), "OpenMP: Current Implementations and Future
Directions."

Kevin Roy (CSAR, University of Manchester), "Is
programming OpenMP really as easy as everyone says?".
Click here for a PDF version of Kevin's slides.
Jürgen Dreher (Applied Mathematics,
University of St. Andrews), "Parallel
Mesh-Adaptive Fluid Simulations Using a POSIX-Threads/MPI Hybrid."

Further, two MPEG movies were also shown: movie 1 and
movie 2
Access Grid
In order to reach as wide an audience as possible, the seminar
will be broadcast over the Access Grid.
The talks themselves will be given from both Edinburgh and Manchester.
You can attend in person at either location or
participate in the seminar via the Access Grid.
A list of UK eScience Centres, which may have Access Grid nodes, can be found
here.
Locations of all Access Grid nodes can be found here.
If you intend to utilise the Access Grid, please let us know exactly which node you wish to use.
Registration
Attendance at UKHEC events is free to UK academics.
If you would like to participate, please email ukhec-epcc@ukhec.ac.uk and let
us know if you are attending at either Edinburgh or Manchester or at
which particular Access Grid node.
This event will be held at EPCC, Edinburgh, UK and on the Access Grid.
Information on getting to the EPCC can be found
here.
