Course schedule
1 Introduction
- The challenges of multicore programming.
- Table of usable technologies: process, thread and parallelism.
- Description of how a processor works.
- Architecture in "Hyperthreading".
- INTEL and AMD processor architectures.
- NVidia architectures and APIs.
- Shared vs. distributed memory architecture.
2 Application modeling
- Importance of modeling aspects.
- Parallel processing patterns.
- Use of asynchronous mechanisms.
- Developing a new application: precautions and modeling. Avoiding "singletons".
- Modify an existing application in Multicore.
- Choice of architecture: a compromise between synchronization and performance. Multiprocess/multithread choices.
3 Threads
- Threads in an industrial application.
- Thread scheduling.
- Management of stacks and "call stack" in threads.
- Multithreaded debuggers.
- Management of synchronization objects: critical sections, Mutexes and Semaphores.
- Develop "thread safe".
- Thread API TBB, Clik++, C++11, boost threads, pthreads.
Hands-on work
Threads and synchronization in C/C++.
4 Process
- Process address spaces, organization.
- Criteria for choosing a multi-process approach.
- Inter-process communication (IPC) techniques.
- Multi-process debugging tools.
- Advantages and disadvantages of multi-process techniques.
Hands-on work
Manage asynchronous processing with the C/C++ API.
5 Parallel programming
- Contribution and objectives of parallel programming.
- The "OpenMP" C++ library (shared memory programming).
- The "OpenMPI" library (distributed memory programming).
- Use GPUs on graphics cards for calculation.
- Kits from NVidia (CUDA) and ATI.
- The "OpenAcc" library for GPU programming.
- The "OpenCL" library for CPU and GPU parallel programming.
Hands-on work
Parallelizing algorithms with "OpenMP" in C++. Using the OpenCL API.
6 Summary and conclusion
- Conclusion of the techniques studied.
- The future of C++ with multicore.
