Finding Runtime Concurrency Errors in Multithreaded Java Applications
Join Coverity on June 3 at 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT for a web seminar "Finding Runtime Concurrency Errors in Multi-threaded Applications." In this session Thomas Schultz of Coverity's Advanced Technology Group will offer a presentation and demonstration of Coverity Thread Analyzer for Java, a new dynamic analysis solution for multithreaded Java applications that automatically and predictably detects existing and potential race conditions and deadlocks that can cause deadly application behavior. Register today and find out how to: <ul><li> Automatically and rapidly detect serious concurrency errors</li> <li> Avoid data corruption and application failures <li> Sharply reduce the problem of testing billions of unpredictable thread interleavings </li> <li>Reduce risk of migration to multicore systems</li> <li>Combine dynamic and static analysis to improve overall code quality</li></ul>

Solving the Multicore Programming Problem
Processor raw speed gains are hitting a brick wall of power consumption. The voracious appetite for performance now must be sated through the use of multiple CPUs. The problem: multicores are hard to program. Chuck Moore of AMD said "To make effective use of multicore hardware today, you need a PhD in computer science." Learn how Gedae expands the pool of multicore developers while offering unrivaled performance and productivity. Event Date: Wednesday, June 11, 2008.
