Runtime Systems for Heterogeneous Parallel Programming

Course provider: Maison de la Simulation
Date:
04 June 2018 to 05 June 2018
Registration deadline:
25 May 2018
Place: Gif-sur-Yvette (

)
Course level: Open to all
Keywords: Runtime systems, thread programming, accelerators, hardware abstraction, Performance portability

Course description:

This course will present the state of the art of runtime system support for programming heterogeneous platforms. Heterogeneous computing platforms - such as multicores equipped with accelerators - are notoriously difficult to program due to the strong differences in performance characteristics among the various available computing units and also to the discrete memory spaces of accelerating boards. The course will present the StarPU runtime system developed at Inria by the STORM Team in Bordeaux.
