Annual Conference: Communicating Process Architectures
Communicating Process Architectures 2017,
the 39th. WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel systems, takes place from
Sunday August 20th. to Wednesday August 23rd. 2017 and is hosted by
Kevin Vella, Head of Department in
Computer Science
at the University of Malta.
Conference sessions will take place at the
Victoria Hotel in Sliema, Malta.
About WoTUG
WoTUG provides a forum for the discussion and promotion of concurrency ideas,
tools and products in computer science.
It organises specialist workshops and annual conferences that address
key concurrency issues at all levels of software and hardware granularity.
WoTUG aims to progress the leading state of the art in:
-
theory (programming models, process algebra, semantics, ...);
-
practice (multicore processors and run-times, clusters, clouds, libraries, languages, verification, model checking, ...);
-
education (at school, undergraduate and postgraduate levels, ...);
-
applications (complex systems, modelling, supercomputing, embedded systems, robotics, games, e-commerce, ...);
and to stimulate discussion and ideas on the roles concurrency will play in the future:
-
for the next generation of scalable computer infrastructure (hard and soft) and application,
where scaling means the ability to ramp up functionality (stay in control as complexity increases)
as well as physical metrics (such as absolute performance and response times);
-
for system integrity (dependability, security, safety, liveness, ...);
-
for making things simple.
Of course, neither of the above sets of bullets are exclusive.

A new adaptive algorithm for the solution of systems of linear equations
By Rudnei Dias da Cunha, Tim Hopkins
We present a comparison between serial and parallel implementations of some iterative methods to solve systems of linear equations. The basic vector arithmetic operations used in the implementations are discussed with respect to its parallelization. The iterative methods considered are the Adaptive SOR (A-SOR), the Steepest-descent (G), an adaptive version of the steepest-descent method (A-G), the Richardson's Optimum-Extrapolated (RF-OE), and the Conjugate Gradient (CG).
