Clay hosted this show solo since Kathy was ill.
Time for another episode of Parallel Programming Talk – This is show #116. We’ve got a Listener Question Show today and our guest is Jeff Gallagher. I’ll be talking with him in a few minutes.
But first, the News
As you can see, Summer seems to be a slow time for news and other events.

Today we’ve got a Listener Question Show. Today’s question comes to us from Faye Baxter. She asks “I’ve read about the Intel Manycore Testing Lab in several places. One report says that it has 32 cores, but another says it has 40 cores. Which is it?”
To answer that question, we’ve brought in Intel Manycore Testing Lab Program Manager Jeff Gallagher.
Before we discuss the question answer let’s talk about the Manycore Testing Lab itself.
The following info was related:
What is the MTL?
When was it created and why?
Who uses this? Academics
What is in the MTL? Its anatomy?

- The 24th International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Programming (LCPC) – will take placeColorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado on September 8-10, 2011 - Third Annual Workshop on Concurrent Collections will be co-located with LCPC on September 7, 2011 more info: http://lcpc11.cs.colostate.edu/
- UPCRC Illinois Summer School on Multicore Programming Programmers with little or no exposure to parallelism have an opportunity to learn about multicore programming at the UPCRC Illinois Summer School to be held July 25-29, 2011 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The week-long, intensive workshop will provide a solid foundation in the fundamentals of multicore programming, offer hands-on experience with the use of multicore languages and libraries, and introduce emerging research topics. Upon completion, participants will be equipped to choose the best multicore programming model for current and future projects. Prerequisites for the summer school include solid programming experience (C, C++, C# or Java languages) and a demonstrated interest in applying multicore programming to academic or professional pursuits. For more information about the summer school, visit the website at http://www.upcrc.illinois.edu/summer/2011/index.html.
