The title of the talk is "Beyond threads: scalable composable parallelism with Cilk and TBB" where he will be discussing alternative programming models for new and future hardware. In particular Jim's talk will address:
- What鈥檚 happening in micro-electronics and what does it mean for architectures and HPC?
- What do we mean by 鈥渟calable鈥� and 鈥渃omposable鈥� parallelism?
- What鈥檚 wrong with threads and OpenMP?
- What isIntel庐 Cilk鈩� Plus?
- What is TBB?
- Why do they matter to HPC? (Where are we going withIntelMIC?)
