A Tale of Shared Memory Concurrency in Programming Languages

Explore the challenges and advancements in shared memory concurrency for programming languages in this 30-minute video presentation by Soham Chakraborty from TU Delft. Delivered at the PLMW @ PLDI 2024 workshop, the talk delves into the complexities of defining formal concurrency models that balance the needs of programmers, compilers, and hardware in the multicore era. Gain insights into the research landscape surrounding concurrency model design, recent developments, and future directions in this field. Learn how modern programming languages have incorporated first-class support for concurrency to leverage multicore hardware performance while providing platform-independent abstractions.
