Multi-core Programming with NI LabVIEW Hands-On Workshop
National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) is offering free, hands-on multi-core programming workshops based on the NI LabVIEW graphical programming language to engineers and scientists around the globe. The Multi-core Programming with NI LabVIEW Hands-On Workshop will be presented in 18 U.S. and Canadian cities beginning in May and 15 international cities this fall. The half-day workshop features perspectives from Intel on the industry transition from single-core to multi-core systems, examines the current capabilities of multi-core architectures including the latest Intel® Core(tm) microarchitecture, and provides insight into the multi-core technology roadmap from Intel. The workshop also demonstrates how engineers and scientists can achieve real performance improvements by using LabVIEW graphical programming for multi-core system development.
The Multi-core Programming with NI LabVIEW Hands-On Workshop features an overview of multi-core technology and its benefits followed by hands-on sessions covering LabVIEW graphical programming basics, multithreaded programming, partitioning an application, debugging and migrating legacy applications. Attendees will develop multi-core applications during the training using dual-core laptops equipped with LabVIEW and the NI CompactDAQ USB-based modular data acquisition system.
