Programmers with little or no exposure to parallelism have an opportunity to learn about multicore programming at the UPCRC Illinois Summer School to be held July 19-23, 2010 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Coursework will provide a solid foundation in the fundamentals of multicore programming, offer hands-on experience with the use of multicore languages and libraries, and introduce emerging research topics. Upon completion, participants will be equipped to choose the best multicore programming model for current and future projects.

Prerequisites for the summer school include solid programming experience (C, C++, C# or Java languages) and a demonstrated interest in applying multicore programming to academic or professional pursuits.

Applicants can apply to attend on campus at the Thomas M. Siebel Center for Computer Science or online as a virtual student. Discounted rates are available for academic faculty, staff, and students. On-site capacity is limited, so applicants are asked to indicate if online attendance is an acceptable alternative.
