MEDIA ALERT: RAPIDMIND TO JOIN INTEL AND VDC TO DISCUSS MULTI-CORE CHALLENGES FACING THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY
Waterloo, Ontario - March 25, 2008 - RapidMind, developer of the award-winning RapidMind Multi-core Development Platform, has been invited to participate in several critical panel discussions at Multi-Core Expo next week in Santa Clara, Calif., that explore the way multi-core architecture is changing the software industry.
Dr. Michael McCool, RapidMind chief scientist, is participating with other leading industry executives in a panel discussion moderated by VDC that considers the key issues and challenges facing the industry in enabling software for multi-core technology, and explores ways the industry must adapt to work towards greater multi-core enablement.
Dr. McCool, is participating in a panel of technology leaders, brought together by Intel to answer whether today’s programming models are sufficient for programmers to easily extract the value of multi-core processors or if new programming alternatives must be developed.
Dr. McCool is also delivering his keynote address explaining how specific parallel programming models are the key to leveraging the high-performance available from multi-core processors including x86 CPUs, GPU and the Cell BE. On the last day of the conference, Dr. McCool is conducting an additional talk on programming many-core processors.
