Multicore Day 2009 in Kista September 4
Multicore processors are replacing single core processors in servers, personal computers and embedded systems alike. To leverage multicore, all software must be parallel. How can we meet this challenge? What are the current options? What happens internationally and in Sweden?
Multicore Day 2009 features leading international and Swedish experts from industry and academia, who will present the cutting edge of multicore computing technologies. We are proud to present Richard Kaufmann (HP), Steve Teixiera (Microsoft) and Anders Landin (Sun) as keynote speakers.
Multicore Day 2009 is an annual event gathering over 300 participants from Swedish and international academia and industry. Multicore Day is organized by SICS and the Swedish Multicore Initiative.
Time: September 4 2009, at 9.15-17.00
