"Software Implications of Multi-Core Architectures"

The evolution of computers from single-threaded machines to multi-core,
multi-threaded machines is making concurrency ubiquitous.  The nature of
the trade-offs in this transition has implications on the software
stack.
This talk will review the reasons behind multi-core architectures,
identify
several models of concurrency in multi-core machines, and discuss
research
issues in the enablement of multi-core systems.

Bio:
Siddhartha Chatterjee is senior manager of the Systems Solutions and
Architecture group at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown
Heights, NY.  He received his B.Tech. (Honors) in electronics and
electrical communications engineering in 1985 from the Indian Institute
of
Technology, Kharagpur, and his Ph.D. in computer science in 1991 from
Carnegie Mellon University.  He was a visiting scientist at the Research
Institute for Advanced Computer Science (RIACS) in Mountain View,
California, from 1991 through 1994, and was assistant and associate
professor of computer science at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel
Hill from 1994 through 2001.  He has published in the areas of compilers
for parallel languages, computer architecture, and parallel algorithms.
His research interests include the design and implementation of
programming
languages and systems for high-performance computations, high
performance
parallel architectures, and parallel algorithms and applications.
