Intel: Multi-core Programming for Academia 2.1
24-26 March 2009
Cardiff are hosting a 3-day Intel Training course designed for University staff and research students. This course will cover:
- Multi-core architectures & the fundamental tools,
- Explore parallel programming patterns and programming with Windows Threads,
- Use Intel Thread Building Blocks to improve application performance with both thread checker and profiler tools,
- Visual computing "game" workloads to demonstrate how to tackle threading in a DirectX game environment.
This course is open to all Universities across the UK and is free to attend.
Please note: class sizes are restricted so an early response is recommended. If there is sufficient demand, we will try and organise a follow-up course later in the year.
To register for this event, please contact us, and include the following information in your email:
- Name, organisation, department, job title (note: this is not open to under-graduates)
- Research Area & level of experience of programming (beginner, novice, advanced etc.) and programming languages used
- Any special dietary requirements as catering will be provided
It is the delegates responsibility to arrange their own accommodation - however please contact us if you have any queries about hotels in the area.
