Multicore Application Debugging Workshop
On November 14th and 15th, 2013, the Institute for Integrated Systems at Technische Universität München and the Institute for Communication Technologies and Embedded System at RWTH Aachen jointly organized a workshop on the challenges of debugging in the multicore era. Around 50 participants have been invited to attend the workshop and 22 presentations on a broad range of topics targeting the multicore debugging challenge have been arranged. The workshop was a great success. Below you can find the presentations held at the workshop. If you want to get updated about plans of the workshop in 2014, please contact mad-workshop@lis.ei.tum.de.
