Keynote (9:00am - 10:00am): Program Interaction in Shared Cache: A Theory and Applications (slides)
Chen Ding, Professor, University of Rochester
Abstract
On modern multicore systems, the interaction between co-run programs largely depends on cache sharing, and cache sharing depends on the locality, i.e. the active data usage, in co-run programs. This talk introduces a newly developed locality theory based on a concept called the footprint. The theory shows the composability of footprint and the conversion between footprint and other locality metrics. It enables accurate characterization and analysis of the dynamics of cache sharing.
Biography
Chen Ding received Ph.D. from Rice University, M.S. from Michigan Tech, and B.S. from Beijing University before joining Rochester in 2000. His research received the young investigator awards from NSF and DOE. He co-founded the ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Memory System Performance and Correctness (MSPC) and was a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research and a visiting associate professor at MIT. He is an external faculty fellow at IBM Center for Advanced Studies.

Introduction
Rapid advancements in multicore and manycore chips have been a revolution within chip manufacturing, almost eradicating single-core processors. From high-end servers to mobile phones, multicore and manycore chips are steadily entering every single aspect of information technology. However, programming multicore and manycore architectures remains challenging today. To fully utilize these chips, parallel programming models that allow sequential programs and programs utilizing limited parallelism to transition to architectures with massive parallelism, while maintaining good performance and productive development, are urgently needed.
This workshop is dedicated primarily to gather researchers and practitioners addressing the main challenges and share experiences in the emerging multicore and manycore software engineering and distributed programming paradigm. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for people interested in programming environments, models, tools and applications specifically designed for parallel multicore and manycore hardware environments.
