In
cs.tau.ac.il my user id is typically shanir
My main interests are techniques
for designing, implementing, and reasoning about multiprocessors, in particular
concurrent
data structures for multicore machines, and the mathematical foundations of
the shared memory computation model that governs their behavior.
I am a past program chair of the
ACM PODC and ACM SPAA conferences, and am an active member of the DISC and
OPODIS communities.

My new multicore programming
textbook "The
Art of Multiprocessor Programming (selected for Intel Corporation’s Recommended Reading List) If you wish to teach a class based
on the book teaching materials (a complete set of Slides, all code and Homework
Assignments can be found in the book’s Companion
web page and in this year’s Multicore
Programming web page). There are several Suggested
Ways to use the book for teaching a multicore programming course. There is
also an Art
of Multiprocessor Programming Google Group for interested readers.
