ABSTRACT:
Now that we are firmly entrenched in the multicore architecture era, to take full advantage of these architectures, many application developers will have to develop parallel applications. However, today, parallel programming is so difficult that it is only practiced by a few elite programmers. Thus, a key research question is what set of hardware and software technologies will make parallel computation accessible to average programmers. In this talk, I will outline the approach we are taking to answer this question in the Stanford Pervasive Parallelism Laboratory.
