Speaker Details

The University Parallel Computing Research Centers at UC Berkeley and University of Illinois are co-sponsored by Microsoft and Intel. The purpose of the Centers is to accelerate the development of parallel computing platforms for consumer and commercial applications for desktop, client, and mobile devices. To foster collaborations, Microsoft is hosting a two day workshop on May 28 and 29 to discuss applications of Multicore computing.Microsoft employees are welcome to attend the talks.
