The LaPeSD/UFSC team (Alyson Pereira, Emmanuel Podestá Jr. and Bruno Marques) is the 2nd-place Winner of the Marathon of Parallel Programming, which was held in conjunction with International Symposium on Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing (SBAC-PAD) and Simpósio em Sistemas Computacionais de Alto Desempenho (WSCAD) in Campinas/SP.
Each team consists of three students members and a coach. They have about 5 hours to solve up to 9 problems. For Local Contest, the teams can also bring printed hard copy material (e.g. books, manuals, notes, papers). Judgment is strict. In the beginning of the contest, teams receive problem descriptions and sequential (serial) solutions. Resolution involves not only the correct problem solution but also performance speedup for parallel (or distributed) version, measured according to criteria defined by committee for current contest.
Pedro Penna has received a Second Best Paper Award at Simpósio em Sistemas Computacionais de Alto Desempenho (WSCAD) for the paper entitled BinLPT: A Novel Workload-Aware Loop Scheduler for Irregular Parallel Loops. In this paper, Pedro presents some of the results he obtained from his master thesis at PPGCC/UFSC. This work has been done in collaboration with other researchers from PUC-Minas and Université de Grenoble Alpes (France). Pedro was advised by Prof. Márcio Castro and Prof. Patricia Plentz.
