2nd Workshop on Systems for Future Multi-core Architectures (SFMA 2012)

Derek G. Murray (Microsoft Research), Zachary Anderson (ETHZ)

Future multi-core architectures will present a variety of challenges for system developers, such as non-cache-coherent memory, heterogeneous processing cores and the exploitation of novel architectural features. To achieve high performance on these platforms, application developers will need to exploit parallelism to a much greater extent than before. SFMA'12 is a forum for researchers in the operating systems, language runtime and virtual machine communities to present and discuss their experiences with the new generation of highly-parallel hardware.
