On Today’s Show:
On March 9, 2010 The Parallel Programming Community on the Intel Software Network published a collection of technical papers to provide software developers with the most current technical information on Application Threading, Synchronization, Memory Management and Programming Tools.
Henry Gabb tool the lead in organizing the team of technical experts and editing the final document. Henry talked about the guide and Intel’s motivation for publishing the collection of papers.
Many technical experts have offered there opinion on The Guide:
Tom Spyrou’s opinion on how to tune work assigned to threads from the programming tools paper Curing Thread Imbalance Using Intel® Parallel Amplifier and his experience with detecting when the bottleneck in a program is caused by the bandwidth from main memory in the paper Detecting Memory Bandwidth Saturation in Threaded Applications.
Dmitriy Vyukov’s thoughts on False Sharing from the paper Avoiding and Identifying False Sharing Among Threads.
Asaf Shelly discusses the correct use of memory allocations by giving each thread its own Heap for the paper Avoiding Heap Contention Among Threads.
Clay Breshears wrote about The Art of Snow Blowing as it relates to the paper Granularity and Parallel Performance.
InsideHPC wrote up a review of The Guide stating that they found the papers “to be quite helpful, striking a good balance between brevity and completeness. You won’t walk away from this series with an encyclopedic understanding of any one concept or tool, but then that isn’t the point. The focus in each is on getting to the core of a particular tool or concept, or on solving a particular problem.”
We look forward to more thoughts and feedback and encourage you to participate in the discussion and ask question in our Threading on Intel® Parallel Architectures forum.
