Reception

Panel discussion
Session Chairs: Michael Paleczny, Sun and Carol Eidt, Microsoft
Are new languages necessary for multicore?

CGO-5 is inviting industry practitioners to join the conference attendees for a complimentary reception and panel discussion on Monday evening, March 12. We have invited the following panelists to share their perspectives: David August (Princeton), Preston Briggs (AMD), David Callahan (Microsoft), David Chase (Sun), Edward Lee (Berkeley). Please join us to meet and interact with academic and industry experts interested in topics ranging from compiler optimizations, run-time profiling, and memory optimizations to transactional memory and novel architectures. Although there is no charge for this event, advance registration for those not already registered for CGO is required due to limited seating. Bios and position statements.

Slides: David August, David Callahan, David Chase, Edward Lee.
