SPLASH 2016
Sun 30 October - Fri 4 November 2016 Amsterdam, Netherlands
Tue 1 Nov 2016 08:30 - 10:00 at St Gallen - Session 1

In the years since the 2004 publication of Patterns for Parallel Programming by Mattson, Sanders, and Massingill, the parallel computing landscape has changed significantly. Not only has the need to be able to exploit concurrency and parallelism expanded beyond the realm of specialists, which has greatly increased the number of software engineers developing parallel programs, but new hardware platforms such as GPGPUs, have become widely available. The talk will discuss an updated version of the pattern language for parallel programming. The updated version maintains the goal of the original pattern language, which was to convey expert knowledge of parallel program design to non-experts, but has been updated and extended to reflect recent advances in hardware. It also reflects the authors’ experiences teaching parallel programming using patterns, and collaborating with domain scientists to develop a large parallel software system for computational chemistry.
