The Annual Concurrency Forum Meeting will be held on February 4th and 6th, 2013 at Fermilab, with the possibility to overflow parallel discussions a third day if required. This meeting is the follow-up of the first "Workshop on Concurrency in the many-Cores Era" that took place in November 2011. We would like to reserve Wednesday, February 6th for follow up discussions.
During the 2011 Workshop we discussed ideas on how to efficiently exploit future many-core processor architectures and established the "Concurrency Forum" as a communication model to collaborate on this topic. The goals for the February 2013 annual meeting are as follows:
- We would like to discuss progress made with each demonstrator, drawing conclusions for those that have completed their work programme and identifying topics that still need to be investigated.
- It would be nice if each collaboration (experiments, Geant4 etc.) could report on its current views on parallelism issues, such as choice of concurrency model and software technologies. This will be an opportunity for us all to discuss and see if we can converge on a common overall strategy.
- One outcome of the meeting is the possibility of launching development projects with specific deliverables that can be of benefit to the whole community. The extra day can be used by interested groups to get together and to start to discuss a programme of work.
