Communicating Process Architectures 2009
Communicating Process
Architectures 2009 will start on the evening of Sunday 1st. November, through
to lunchtime on 4th. November at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven
in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The conference will run in its normal style
(a single stream of refereed papers during the day and fringe events
in the evenings). This year, however, we shall be part of
Formal Methods Week 2009
where registration for CPA also gives access to the sessions of other
conferences, tutorials and workshops running simultaenously –
follow their sidebar link to "Schedule" for the outline timetable.
Welcome!
WoTUG is a forum set up to support those applying the CSP
model of parallel processing. You will find on this site articles and information
that can help you design and build concurrent software and hardware systems that
really work, day in, day out, without any need to spend man-years of debugging
effort.
- Information on CSP, the mathematical basis of our work
- Our papers, the distilled results of our work
- The KRoC retargettable occam compiler
- A page about the group.
The Abstract below is from a paper in our database:
Fine Grain Parallel Processing on Commodity Platforms
By R. W. Dobinson, P. D. V. van der Stok, Marcel Boosten
We present a tight integration of a user-level thread scheduler and a zero-copy messaging system that has been designed and optimized for scalable and efficient fine-grain parallel processing, on commodity platforms, with support for fault-tolerance. The system delivers most of the performance of the underlying communication hardware to a multi-threaded application level, while introducing little CPU overhead. This is demonstrated by a performance analysis of an implementation using off-the-shelf commodity products: PCs, running the Linux operating system, equipped with Fast and Gigabit Ethernet network interface cards.
