Why: Code maintenance and porting to new CPUs/GPUs is difficult. This can = help. When: Wednesday, January 22, 2025, 09:30 - 17:30 Where: Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Garching near Munich, Germany (ON-S= ITE) Who: Dr. Michele Martone https://github.com/michelemartone Prerequisites: Good C/C++ knowledge; HPC experience recommended. ___________________________________________________________________________= _______ Registration URL: =3D=3D=3D> ---> https://tiny.badw.de/gsRkBW <--- <= =3D=3D=3D ___________________________________________________________________________= _______ The maintenance of a large software project can be very demanding. External factors like evolving third-party software library APIs, or constantly cha= nging hardware platforms might require significant code adaptions for the code t= o run efficiently, or to run at all. Failure in coping with this can lead to obsolescence, loss of performance, incompatibility, vendor lock-in, bugs. =20 Have you ever wondered how to detect and manipulate specified C/C++ code constructs, be it for code analysis, or better, to restructure an arbitrar= ily large codebase according to a specified, non-trivial `pattern', without wr= iting a source-to-source translator yourself, but using an existing programmable= one? =20 In this training we introduce you to a tool to do exactly this: match and restructure code in a programmatic, formal way. =20 After this training, you shall be able to write your own code transformati= ons, be it for a refactoring, performance improvement, paving the way to an experimental fork, or for debug/analysis reasons. =20 The training will also show how to analyse code looking for interesting patterns (e.g. bugs), integrate your Python scripts to achieve the custom transformations you need, and leverage Coccinelle's increasing C++ support. =20 Special mention will go to performance-oriented transformations, of intere= st of HPC practitioners. ___________________________________________________________________________= _______ --=20 Dr. Michele Martone https://michelemarton= e.org Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) High Performance Systems Div= ision Boltzmannstrasse 1 D-85748 Garching bei Muenchen Ge= rmany () ASCII ribbon campaign - against HTML e-mail /\ - against proprietary attachments --ZLJOIGXCvwN8W1OT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EABECAB0WIQQdu1Va6jWbiq8Ma4jg5mnI7xJYuAUCZ2HnAgAKCRDg5mnI7xJY uC+EAKCCAco6iJjf7xMo1e9DN1KWHnUXiACfcECQ9WTQL0DeaMhX3uk0AYg3BHo= =5jUJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZLJOIGXCvwN8W1OT-- --===============0666185024868317419== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies --===============0666185024868317419==--
