RE: More multi-core

[Andrew Delin <Andrew.Delin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter, for those of us who can't attend, will the keynote and other parts of the conference be recorded?

A powerpoint + MP3 for download on the web after the event would be very useful.

Just a thought

Andrew

Hi Ian,

I hope all have noted the abstract for David May's Keynote paper at CPA
next week ...

  http://www.cs.surrey.ac.uk/host/cpa2007/programme.html

For the abstracts, scroll down to below the timetable.  David is talking
hundreds of cores, :).  You will also be excited by the new ideas for
(very very very) fine-grain concurrency being expressed by Tony Hoare -
in his Keynote address that opens the conference.

See you next week!

Cheers,

Peter.
