The goal is to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of current systems for parallel programming by comparing them on a common application. The final workshop will feature presentations of the individual implementations, assessing both raw performance as well as ease of parallelisation and other aspects in the development of this parallel application. The application chosen for the second phase of the Challenge is the n-body problem. We have chosen this problem as the core component of a realistic application that is of interest for parallel computation. It offers several approaches to parallelisation, and the web page giving the concrete specification and the input data discusses the available options. Furthermore, sequential implementations are available for a large number of programming languages, and linked from the web page below. This workshop provides a venue for showing off the suitability of a particular system to exploit parallelism on multi-core machines. For the broader community it is an opportunity to get an overview of commonly used systems (a list of ongoing implementations will be added to the Wiki page). Finally, we plan to discuss candidate applications for the next phase of the SICSA MultiCore challenge, possibly focussing more closely on one particular application area to high-performance computing.
