CONFERENCE NEWS: MK at HPCA and PPoPP 2011
March 14, 2011 [MK] Todd
| High Performance Computing Architecture 2011 Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming 2011 San Antonio, TX – February 14-16, 2011 I recently attended HPCA and PPoPP 2011: two small conferences which have co-located since 2009. Attendees of either conference could attend all sessions, and the two organizers held several plenary events. Around 300 computer scientists, developers, and researchers enjoyed the San Antonio Marriott River Center, very near to the scenic “River Walk” in the middle of San Antonio, TX. I was able to meet with several current and potential Morgan Kaufmann authors either during sessions or in the break and coffee area. Sessions included cloud / distributed computing, heterogeneity, shared memory in parallel computing, GPGPU, CUDA, OpenCL, multicore programming, Flash / SSD memory, and more. Keynote speaker Jim Larus of Microsoft stated that shared memory in parallel computing was “a mistake,” and it was interesting to see many conference sessions presenting solutions or workarounds on that issue. Morgan Kaufmann had a small table in the break area, and attendees expressed interest in a variety of titles including Engineering a Compiler 2e, The Art of Multiprocessor Programming, An Introduction to Parallel Programming, and GPU Computing Gems: Emerald Edition. Two attendees won the book of their choice in a drawing the last day of the conference:  Josh Simons (left) of vmware chose "Architecture of Network Systems"  Charles Lefurgy (left) of IBM chose "Programming Language Pragmatics" This was my first time attending the co-located conferences; despite the small size, there was no shortage of interesting conversations and ideas. Hope to see you at next year’s conferences, not yet announced but expected early in 2012. |
