Concurrency and Memory Management Seminar, Winter 2010/2011
Time, Location: Th 10-12 in T04, Techno-Z. First seminar is on Th,
October 7, 2010.

Brief Overview: Why is concurrency so difficult to handle, on the
level of process execution as well as in program development? How can
we utilize emerging multicore hardware more effectively? What are the
tricks to manage complex systems including memory concurrently, in
parallel, and even incrementally? What is the difference anyway? Is
garbage collection the final answer to correct and efficient heap
management? If you are interested in these and other systems-related
questions, sign up for the concurrency and memory management seminar.
The seminar provides a unique opportunity to meet other students and
discuss hot topics in systems research. Pick a research paper (or
problem) provided in class (or propose some other recent paper), read
and understand it, and then share your experience with the group.
Goals of the seminar: Learn how to read, understand, and present top
research papers and their context.
Prerequisites: Background in basic programming language and operating
system concepts.
Requirements: Each student selects a research paper (or problem) and
gives a 45min presentation on the paper (or problem), and uploads the
presentation to the
seminar wiki.
Seminar language is English.
