Employees of the Ardecs company participated in the First Summer School - Theory and Practice of Parallel Computing
ITMO University held the first Summer School - Theory and Practice of Parallel Computing from 3 to 7th of July 2017.
Saint Petersburg hosted more than 90 developers, students and young researchers from Russia, Europe and the Near East.
The conferences, dedicated to both theoretical and practical aspects of parallel computing, were delivered during the Summer School.
World's leading experts from the USA, Switzerland, France, Austria, Israel and Russia prepared broad scientific agenda, consisting from lectures, discussions and workshops.
A renowned academic and famous scientist, Gödel Prize winner (2004) and Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize winner (2012) for Software Transactional Memory, the professor of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Nir Shavit took the floor on the opening of the Summer School in the ITMO University.
Among the audience, the specialists of the company Ardecs – Dmitry Urbanovich and Denis Kotegov – also participated in the Summer School. Our colleagues attended the lectures, the topics of which include issues concerning modern approaches of blocking, analysis of concurrent data structure and distributed machine learning, analysis of concurrent data structure in weak memory model, review of the latest developments in transactional memory and many others.
In a contemporary world definitions of computation and parallel (distributed) computing are practically integral. It makes no difference whether this refers to a multicore machine, computer cluster or geographically-distributed service, Computing System is a set of processes, which perform parallel computations and exchange the data for results synchronization. Nowadays the understanding of fundamentals of parallel (distributed computing is one of the most important aspects of successful operation in all computing technology areas.
