Today: Multikart engineering

With our group of students exceeding the number of 10, we yesterday decided to take a day off and go kart racing. So for once multikart research instead of multicore research :c)

...and what are the evaluation results of our case study? Obviously all had a lot of fun, so we feel encouraged to continue this research activity in the near future. With this we hope to better cope with aching muscles that some of us fought with the other day...

Paper accepted

Hey there,
I'm happy to announce, that my paper on AutoFutures has been accepted at the International Conference on Multicore Software Engineering, Performance, and Tools (MSEPT'12). It will appear in the proceedings.

The feedback I got is very pleasing and motivating for further research. Some feedback that I got from the reviewers:

"(...) The idea of structuring automatic parallelization efforts around Futures is a good one -- they are familiar and popular with programmers, while also supporting tractible analysis. (...)"

"(...) The paper's synopsis of applications to actual programs is encouraging. But this position paper is too sketchy for me to evaluate details of the underlying work. I encourage the authors to produce a deeper presentation of this work so that others can help critique details.(...)"

"(...) The introductory parts follow a well-known and important argumentation about the necessity of fully automatic parallelization approaches. The requirements and motivation of this work is presented in reasonable manner. (...)"

 "(...) A nice position paper with a good idea that also includes an early-stage experimental evaluation. (...)"

Greetings,
K!
