Exercise Content
Blackboard exercises will deepen and complement the lectures contents. Additional programming tasks facilitate practical experience on concurrent systems.
The programming tasks will cover the following topics:
- Basic facilities for concurrency in native programming-languages.
- clone, Pthreads, fork, OpenMP, C++11, Cilk, ...
- Low-level problems of shared-memory parallelism, atomic operations, memory ordering, cache coherency.
- Efficient thread-local variables.
- Mutual exclusion and scalable locks: hardware and software based solutions.
- Correctness of parallel programs.
- Synchronization monitors, deadlock detection and prevention.
- Non-blocking synchronization and data structures.
- Futex-based synchronization.
