Multicore Application Debugging Workshop

The MAD Workshop is a yearly event at different locations, focussing on a get-together of industry and academia on the challenges of debugging and diagnosis in the multicore era. The first workshop was held in November 2013 in Munich. It's organized jointly by the Institute for Integrated Systems at Technische Universität München and the Institute for Communication Technologies and Embedded System at RWTH Aachen.

Workshop 2014

In 2014 the workshop will be on Wednesday, October 8th between 9:00 and 12:30 at Divani Caravel Hotel in Athens, Greece. It is co-located with the HiPEAC 2014 Fall Computing Systems Week (CSW).

Address: Divani Caravel Hotel, Vasileos Alexandrou Avenue 2, 16121 Athens, Greece
