hyPACK-2013 Topics of Interest : Mode-1 - Host-CPU Cores

The Mode-1 programme covers the practical aspects of performance enhancement through software multi-threading on Multi-Core Processors focusing on Programming & Performance Tuning aspects, System Overview of Threading, Software tools, Mixed Programming, Memory Allocators, & Distributed shared Memory Programming & PGAS model from application point of view. The Mode-1 discusses an overview of programming on host-cpu cores of HPC Cluster with coprocessors and GPU accelerators and performance of codes on numerical & non-numerical computations is discussed. Topics of interest are listed below.
