Annual Conference: Communicating Process Architectures
Communicating Process Architectures 2018,
the 40th. WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel systems, takes place from
Sunday August 19th. to Wednesday August 22nd. 2018 and is hosted by
Professor Dr. Rainer Spallek,
Chair of
VLSI Design, Diagnostics and Architecture
at the Faculty of Computer Science,
Technische Universität Dresden, Germany.
The conference is organised by Dr. Spallek in collboration with Oliver Knodel and Uwe Mielke
and in partnership with WoTUG.
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.

Farming: Towards a rigorous definition and efficient transputer implementation
By Warren Day
The technique of the processor farm has become a very widely used for parallelising applications, often being mentioned without reference to any source.The goal of this work has been to put together a complete and rigorous understanding of what the technique can be used for and what is needed in order to arrive at an efficiently farmed application. This paper consists of these two parts.We have shown, via the UNITY theory of programming, that the basic structure of the processor farm may be used to parallelise a much wider domain of applications than has generally been considered.Second, we show by example, how to build efficient implementations for the first generation of INMOS Transputers. This work is new in that it is the first that has been able to test farming harnesses by taking an abstract view of the application.This paper has been written in a semi-"instruction manual"" style. Also it should serve as an introduction to the subject.
