- Erlang for 5 nines

Monday, December 8th, 2008

IGT Offices, Maskit 4, 5th Floor, Hertzliya.

14:00-14:15: OPENING - Avner & Guy

14:15-15:00: Intel® Parallel Software Tools for HPC and Multi-Core Computing

Herbert Cornelius, Director Advanced Computing Center EMEA and
Alexander Supalov, Engineering Manager Intel Cluster Tools

Abstract

As we see Moore's Law still continuing, more and more parallelism is introduced to all computing platforms and on all levels of integration and programming. Especially in the area of High-Performance Computing (HPC) users can entertain a combination of different hardware and software parallel architectures and programming environments. Those technologies range from vectorization and SIMD computation over shared memory multi-threading (e.g. OpenMP) to distributed memory message passing (e.g. MPI) on cluster systems. But it also puts more and more demand on software (development) tools for parallel computing in respect to the various challenges and opportunities. This talk will briefly outline major hardware architectural trends in HPC (including multi-core) and its associated parallel software tools. We will cover the respective Intel® Software Tools for the main phases of parallel software development: implementation, correctness, analysis and performance. A special emphasis will be put on the MPI message passing library as a vital component for scalable high-performance applications on modern cluster systems.

15:00-15:15 Break

15:15-16:00: Erlang for 5 nines

Zvi Avraham, CTO, Nivertech Ltd.


Abstract

Zvi will present on the concurrent soft real time functional
programming language Erlang and its OTP (Open Telecom Platform)
framework. He will explain why Erlang programs are generally 4 - 10
times shorter than their counterparts in Java, C and C++ achieving
99,999% availability. The talk also explains why Erlang, originally
invented to handle the next generation of Telecom products, has been
successful in a much wider range of sectors including Internet,
banking and e-commerce.
