Workshop on Programmability Issues for Multi-Core Computers held in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on High-Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers Goteborg, Sweden, January 27, 2008

摘要

As computer manufacturers are embarking on the multi-core roadmap, which promises a doubling of the number of processors on a chip every other year, the programming community is faced with a severe dilemma. Until now, software has been developed with a single processor in mind and need to be parallelized to take advantage of the new breed of multi-core computers. As a result, progress in how to easily harness the computing power of multi-core architectures is in great demand.
