SCHEDULE: NOV 12-18, 2011

When viewing the Technical Program schedule, on the far righthand side is a column labeled "PLANNER." Use this planner to build your own schedule. Once you select an event and want to add it to your personal schedule, just click on the calendar icon of your choice (outlook calendar, ical calendar or google calendar) and that event will be stored there. As you select events in this manner, you will have your own schedule to guide you through the week.

You can also create your personal schedule on the SC11 app (Boopsie) on your smartphone. Simply select a session you want to attend and "add" it to your plan. Continue in this manner until you have created your own personal schedule. All your events will appear under "My Event Planner" on your smartphone.

M02: Parallel Programming Techniques for Linked Data Structures

SESSION: M02: Parallel Programming Techniques for Linked Data Structures

EVENT TYPE: Tutorial

TIME: 8:30AM - 12:00PM

Presenter(s):Yan Solihin

ROOM:

ABSTRACT:
Linked data structures (LDS) such as linked lists, trees, graphs, and hash tables, are used heavily in programs. They utilize pointers and rely on pointer chasing to traverse the data structures. Traditional loop-level parallelization is ineffective for LDS due to loop-carried dependence in the traversal loops. Consequently, a different parallelization strategy is needed. Parallelization can be pursued at a higher level, among the LDS primitives, such as traversal, node insertion, and node deletion. Pursuing parallelization at the LDS primitive level, however, requires a different way to reason about the correctness of operations, and requires fine-grain locking along with all its intricacies. LDS parallelization is a rarely covered topics in SC, and the aim of this tutorial is to cover techniques that can be used to achieve an effective parallelization strategy for LDS.
