A tutorial on X10 and its implementation

Abstract

This talk will present a high-level introduction to the X10 language and its implementation with the goal of ensuring a common base knowledge of X10 by all workshop attendees. The X10 language will be introduced primarily via code examples with a focus on X10's support for concurrency and distribution via the APGAS (Asynchronous Partitioned Global Address Space) programming model. The discussion of the X10 implementation will cover the structure of the X10 compiler and the X10 runtime system. The talk is designed to be interactive and will include time for questions and answers and general discussion.
