how to
synchronize
threads
in your application?
-
Can you
efficiently use
mutexes,
semaphores,
monitor
objects,
condition
variables?

The theme focuses on parallel programming, either local on a
multiprocessor system, or distributed, with computers
communicating over a network.
The topics covered by the theme are hardware for parallel
programs, scheme of designing parallel applications, means of
synchronizing threads and processes (mutexes, semaphores,
monitors) with examples in C and Java, the underlying principle
of RMI and RPC and their usage for distributed programs. The
theme also covers writing cross-platform programs, which is
especially important for distributed systems. We will conclude
with a presentation of a portable, parallel data analysis
platform - the ROOT framework. |
