Intel Software Network & Dr. Dobbs Minisummit on Concurrency Pt. 1

Intel Tech Talk, Part1 :: 03Dec07

A special Intel & Dr Dobbs mini summit 'Software and the Concurrency Revolution: Designing for Multiple Cores'. PART 1 : Paul Steinberg (Intel) introduces Tim Mattson (Intel) to open the half-day program with an introductory talk on the engineering and physics based challenges that have impelled the move to multi-core throughout the enterpise.

Dr. Tim Mattson is a Principal Engineer at Intel’s Microprocessor Technology Labs. He joined Intel in 1993. Among his many roles at Intel, he was applications manager for the including the world's first TeraFLOP supercomputer (ASCI Red). He helped create OpenMP, founded the Open Cluster Group (OSCAR), and launched Intel’s programs in computing for the Life Sciences. Dr. Mattson earned a PhD. for his work on quantum molecular scattering theory (UCSC, 1985). This was followed by a Post-doc at Caltech where he worked on the Caltech/JPL hypercubes. Currently, Dr. Mattson is conducting research on performance modeling for future multi-core microprocessors and how different programming models map onto these systems. He is a co-author of the book “Patterns for Parallel Programming.”
