Multi-Core Architectures and Programming

Supervision:

B.Sesli, A. Nirmala, F. Hannig

Module Description:

Multi-Core Architectures and Programming

Scope:

In person group presentation (30 mins + 15 mins Q&A) and written research report (single-column 15-20 page)

Language:

English

Registration:

Registeration is open until April 15th, 2026 on StudOn.

The total quota of 12 spots will be allocated on an equal change basis by that date. Applicants who are not selected will be placed on a waiting list and may be invited if any of the shortlisted candidates do not attend the preliminary interview. To increase the chance of selection if placed on the waiting list, we encourage including a letter of motivation with the initial application.

Preliminary Meeting:

The date and location will be announced after registration closes.

Content:

An image showing a “Multicore Architecture Map Seminar” text centered in the middle. Around it are various types of multicore architectures illustrated, including GPUs, CPUs, manycore processors, and heterogeneous computing systems.

Multi-core processors are already very widespread today. Examples of such architectures include modern graphics processors, which can consist of several thousand so-called stream processors and tensor computing units. Multi-core processors possess very high theoretical computing power, thereby opening up fascinating new possibilities in scientific and other computation-intensive fields, such as multimedia applications, medical technology, and finance. However, to fully exploit this performance, an efficient mapping of algorithms to the architecture of the respective multi-core processor must be found. Compared to traditional single-core processors, this often requires a radical shift in programming paradigms.
The aim of the seminar is to provide insights into state-of-the-art multicore architectures, e.g., dedicated accelerators, AI accelerators (TPUs), and coarse-grained reconfigurable arrays (CGRAs), as well as their programming paradigms.
