Call for Participation The 2013 UPMARC Summer School on Multicore Computing this year focuses on research trends for scalable multicore programs and systemsand will take place at Uppsala University, Sweden in June 10-12, 2013. The school is subsidized by the UPMARC research programme of Uppsala University (see upmarc.se <http://upmarc.se/>). In particular, attendance of the summer school is *free*. (There is only a cancellation fee.) Courses The school consists of a number of lectures and talks from international leaders in their field: * Cristian Cadar, Imperial College Testing Your Code With Symbolic Execution * Erez Petrank, Technion — Israel Institute of Technology Concurrent Data Structures and Progress Guarantees * Jesper Larsson Träff, Vienna University of Technology Challenges in Message-Passing Interfaces for Large-Scale Parallel Systems * Madan Musuvathi, Microsoft Research Finding Race Conditions and Data Races * Margaret Martonosi, Princeton University TBA In addition, the school will include a sessions where participants can present posters and demos of their own research in the area of multicore/parallel computing. School Objective The objective of this year's summer school is to offer foundational tutorials accompanied by a selection of exiting new emerging technologies in the areas of testing for finding errors in concurrent programs, on scalable concurrent data structures, challenges in MPI for large-scale parallel systems, and on architectural trends for power-efficient multicores, all given by leading experts of the community. We aim to attract graduate students and young scientists and, through tutorials and lectures, prepare them for research on identifying and addressing fundamental challenges that will enable all programmers to leverage the potential performance from the ongoing shift to universal parallel computing. We also aim to provide a fun and stimulating environment for students to meet and establish connections with other students, world-class researchers from academia and industry, local faculty, and other senior scientists. For more information about the school, including how to register: http://upmarc.se/events/SS2013 We strongly encourage people interested in participating to register as soon as possible. Deadlines: • May 10 for Accommodation to our price. • May 30 for Registration to the Summer School. Kostis Sagonas and Roland Grönroos
