The fifth edition of Multicore Challenge Conference which took place on 23 September 2014 was very successful and exciting event with presentations from a wide range of industry experts in providing a platform to discuss challenges and opportunities in building products based on multiple cores – from embedded industrial/consumer products and PC applications to mobile [...]
The presenter slides are now available to review on the TVS Website and the recordings will be available next week. We hope you enjoyed the conference and would welcome your feedback with regard to next year’s event and grateful if you could take a few moments to complete a short survey to let us know how we [...]
At this year's Multicore Challenge (2014) conference, David Stuttard from Intel will be providing an overview of "CM", a low level proprietary Domain Specific Language (DSL) that supports a different model for parallelism that provides direct support for hardware features particularly suited to media and compute tasks. In particular it allows lower level and more [...]
At this year's Multicore Challenge (2014) conference, Tom Edwards from the Cray Centre of Excellence in Edinburgh will be providing an overview of Reveal, a tool developed by Cray to help users browse their source code and quickly retrieve compiler optimization information and determine which high-level loops could most benefit from OpenMP parallelism. Most applications [...]

“The move to more heterogeneous multicore systems is going to fundamentally change the way code is developed in mobile” according to an article on the Multicore Challenge by Nick Flaherty of the EETimes. The annual event was hosted in Bristol by Test and Verification Solutions and all of the presentations and recordings are available on [...]
The 4th Annual Bristol Multicore Challenge hosted 185 delegates and 65 online delegates representing 122 Companies in 14 countries. There was robust debate over the advantages over heterogeneous and homogeneous architectures. A number of presentations looked at the relative advantages of the different architectures as well as performance and low power techniques. All the presentations [...]
Many software engineers are now faced with the challenge of how to develop software that harnesses the performance of multiple cores whilst attempting to minimise the power dissipation. The Multicore Challenge, held annually in Bristol at the University of the West of England, is focused on this topic. It aims to bring together the major multicore [...]
Taking place in Bristol UK on 12th June, this year the conference will focus on Heterogeneous Systems with three main themes of heterogeneous architectures, low power and high performance. As in previous years the focus will be on practical advice regarding the development of multicore systems from both the hardware and software perspective. You will [...]
