This paper presents how a course for many-core programming is taught at Abo Akademi University. A motivation for this course is first presented before the learning outcomes for the students and the structure of the course are overviewed. The main content of the course, the project work for the parallelization of an application and the requirements for this project work is then presented in more detail. Finally, feedback from the students is provided.
International audienceModern embedded systems are often heterogeneous in that their design requires several description paradigms, based on different models of computation and concurrency (MoCCs). In this paper we present Rialto, a formal language intended at expressing computations in several MoCCs. The distinguishing features of Rialto and its implementation are 1) A formal semantics: the language is formalized using SOS (structured operational semantics) rules; 2) Encapsulation of models of computation into policies: we thus distinguish between the syntactic elements of the language (parallelism, interrupts) and its semantics; 3) efficient implementation algorithms. Policies are expressed in the language itself, which allows for more expressive power and a sounder semantics
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
