GigaFlops or… TerraFlops? The modern GPU is a massively parallel supercomputer that has 2 orders of magnitude more processing power than a single CPU Core. But the threading model is very different than the CPU. Don’t get left behind on knowing about this different paradigm.

The message passing paradigm makes multithreaded programming safer. In this talk I’ll be trying to get to the bottom of message passing— finding low level primitives from which a variety of message queues or mailboxes may be built. I’ll make a few digressions into Haskell’s MVars …

read moreIn the D Programming Language it is possible for even mere mortals to write code that executes at compile-time. And the resulting code is generally even human readable! In this talk I’ll show some of the metaprogramming …
It’s a well known fact in C++ metaprogramming circles that it’s all based on functional programming. What else is based on functional programming? Haskell! I will go through functional features of Haskell, one by one, and …
After reading a bunch of papers about type systems that prevent data races in multithreaded programs, I asked myself the question: Short of a type system, can a clever methodology be used to prevent data races? It turns …
