1:00 – 4:00 pm: Research and Teaching with OpenCilk
By: Dorothy Curtis (MIT), I-Ting Angelina Lee (WUSTL), Alexandros-Stavros
Iliopoulos (MIT), Charles E. Leiserson (MIT), Tao B. Schardl (MIT)

Abstract:

OpenCilk is a new open-source platform to support Cilk task-parallel
programming in C/C++, aimed primarily at researchers and teachers of
parallel computing.  OpenCilk provides a full-featured implementation of
Cilk, including a compiler based on Tapir/LLVM and a runtime system based
on Cheetah, as well as integrated tools, including a race detector and a
scalability analyzer. OpenCilk provides all the task-parallel features of
Intel Cilk Plus.  This tutorial should facilitate existing users of Cilk
Plus to migrate to OpenCilk, and some familiarity with the Cilk language
will be assumed.

The first half of the tutorial overviews the OpenCilk project, provides a
look under the hood of the OpenCilk architecture, and describes the
components and features.  We will also discuss future development and
solicit input from the audience about development priorities.  The second
half of the tutorial will be a hands-on session, where you can download a
beta version of OpenCilk for Linux, BSD, and Mac OS X to experiment with
running your existing Cilk codes on the new platform.  Live one-on-one
assistance will be provided through the SPAA2020 Slack channel.

4:00 – 5:30 pm: Implementing Parallel Tree Structure in Shared-Memory
By: Yihan Sun (UC Riverside)

Abstract:

This tutorial will introduce a simple and efficient parallel tree data
structure, P-Trees, along with some general techniques about supporting
parallelism and concurrency on trees. The core in P-Trees is a framework
for parallel balanced binary trees, which bases all tree algorithms on a
single primitive "Join". This framework is extendable to multiple balancing
schemes. Based on this framework, this tutorial will address techniques
including a wide range of algorithms, concurrency, an augmentation
framework, and multi-versioning. All algorithms on trees are theoretically
efficient. The algorithms are implemented in an open-source C++ library
called PAM.

This tutorial will also discuss how to use the algorithms and the PAM
library to solve real-world problems, including 2D range/segment/rectangle
search, inverted index searching, HTAP database systems, multi-version
concurrency control, graph processing systems, etc. Making use of the
library, all applications have concise code to get high-performance
implementations.
