Software engineering is moving towards a paradigm shift in order to accommodate new CPU architectures with many cores, in which concurrency will play a more fundamental role in programming languages and libraries. HEP software will also need to accommodate the new hardware architectures by introducing parallelism whenever possible in order to make efficient use of all the available cores. This implies the development of new models and specialized software frameworks to assist scientists in developing their software algorithms and applications in order to benefit from all the available cores.

This web is an attempt to share knowledge among interested parties that should work together to develop 'demonstrators' and agree minimally on technology so that they can share code and compare results.

WS on Many-core architectures for LHCb

Submitted by Pere Mato Vila on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 11:37

LHCb organized a Workshop on many-core architectures for LHCb with main emphasis on ideas, plans and to see what others have done or about to do on this in order to learn from each other. In the context of this concurrency froum there was a presentation on "Adding Concurrency to LHC Software" 

Job opening at CERN - PH-SFT-2012-4-LD

Please note of the publication of a vacancy for the PH-SFT group. This is the post for taking part in the re-engineering of the LHC scientific software used at CERN by introducing parallelism in order to make efficient use of new multi/many-core CPU architectures. Vacancy notice PH-SFT-2012-4-LD. 

Announcing first Forum meeting

Submitted by Pere Mato Vila on Mon, 01/16/2012 - 18:21

 We will start regular bi-weekly meetings to share knowledge and discuss progress on a number of 'demonstrators' that were identified in the last Workshop on Concurrency in the Multi-Cores Era help in November. The tine slot is Wednesday at 17:00 (CET) for maximum 1h30. We have booked the room 32-1-A24 for people at CERN and setup a corresponding EVO video meeting for remote participation.
