Introduction
Concurrency is the next big shift in Software Development since the adoption of Object Technology. The “end of Moore’s law as we know it” means that advances in performance require the use of multi-core architectures; the increasing importance of networking is another reason why ever more applications need to take advantage of concurrent computation. Concurrency, once the preserve of specialized segments of the IT industry, is now a necessity for almost everyone.
This information-packed one-day course presents the state of the art in concurrency and parallel programming, including the most recent advances in the field. Presented by Dr. Bertrand Meyer, one of the pioneers of modern software technology, it is based on years of research on this field.
Course outline
- Overview of concurrency and parallel computing
- Challenges and applications of concurrency
- Main approaches to concurrent programming
- Reasoning about concurrent programs: an introduction to formal approaches
- Concurrency and object-orientation
- New concurrent languages: Ada, Cilk, Concurrent Haskell, Eiffel (SCOOP), Erlang, Go , Occam, Polyphonic C#, Fortress, Linda, MPI, …
- Conclusion
The presentation will run from 8:30 to 5:30pm, with a one-hour break for lunch.
Course materials
The material distributed to participants includes more than 150 slides, as well as supporting articles.
Who should attend?
This course presents a compact, in-depth survey of the concurrent and parallel technology over one day. It is intended for both managers (VPs of Technology, CTOs, Project Leaders) and for software developers who want to know about the most important technology offering in many years. Concurrent and parallel programming will affect everyone; no one can afford to miss it.
What you will learn?
In this information packed seminar you will learn the various ways to address concurrency and understand how to practice currency with ease.
