Concepts in Multicore Programming - Lecture 2: Parallelism & Scheduling Theory

Posted by Ilya Mirman originally on www.cilk.com on Wed, Jul 15, 2009

We recently teamed up with MIT's Professional Development Program on a 2-day workshop focused on multicore programming.

(Here's lecture #1.)

The second lecture covered:

• What is Parallelism?
• Scheduling Theory
• Cilk++ Runtime System
• A Chess Lesson

Here is the video and slides from the lecture:

• Slides: Lecture 2 - Parallelism and Performance

The slides taught the students about what is parallelism in multicore programming from Multi-Threading, Multi-tasking and multi-data programming paradigm. The performance theory can be enhanced through linear and parallel architecture programming with the syntax implemented with optimisation of time profiling on the concurrent processing of Symmetric Multi Processor (SMP) at latest procesing speed of GHz frequency and processor affinity benchmark on multicore Processor with L2 cache hit or cache miss example of the kind of concept usage in Web Server fro the ISV.
