Professor Michael O'Boyle, Director of Institute for Computing Systems Architecture, delivers his inaugural lecture, "Return of the silver bullet or avoiding groundhog day? Auto-parallelisation reloaded".

Professor O'Boyle will explore why compiler based code optimization has often failed to deliver. He will also look at ways we can recast compiler optimization so that it can really deliver for the many-core era.

Recorded on March 10 2014 at the University of Edinburgh's Informatics Forum.
