SUMMARY:Harnessing the Difficulties of Synchronization
DESCRIPTION:\n \n\n\n\nWe are well into the era of multi-core architectures
 and as the applications demands are still growing\, we soon expect to see
 the first many-cores which will feature many hundreds or thousands of
 cores.\nRefactoring software to introduce as much parallelism as possible
 is therefore of crucial importance in order to take advantage of the
 massively parallel nature of current and future multi-core and many-core
 machines. A major obstacle in this direction comes from the difficulty of
 achieving efficient synchronization and communication between threads that
 run concurrently. This lecture aims to alleviate this difficulty by
 presenting state-of-the-art synchronization mechanisms and highly-efficient
 fundamental concurrent data structures.\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nPanagiota
 Fatourou is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of
 Crete and at the Foundation of Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH ICS)\,
 Greece. She has worked as a visiting Professor at EPFL in Switzerland\, as
 a full-time faculty member at the University of Ioannina in Greece\, and as
 a postdoc researcher at Max-Planck Institut fuer Informatik in Germany and
 at the University of Toronto in Canada. She is an elected member of the ACM
 Europe Council (currently serving as the treasurer) and an ACM
 Distinguished Speaker.\n\n\n\nShe has served as the editor of the
 Distributed Computing Column of the Bulletin of EATCS\, as the General
 Chair of ACM PODC 2013\, as the PC chair of OPODIS 2016 and SSS 2017
 (distributed computing track)\, and as a member of the steering committees
 of PODC and OPODIS. She has participated in the PC of more than 35
 conferences. She has been the coordinator of a Marie-Curie Initial Training
 Network and she has participated in many additional research and
 development projects mostly funded by the European Commission. Her research
 interests focuses on the theory of Parallel and Distributed Computing.\n
