Biography
Dr. Peter Buhr is a Professor in the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Professor Buhr's research area is programming languages. He studies concurrency, visualization and debugging, polymorphism, and persistence. Concurrency. New computers support multiple simultaneous threads of execution in the form of multi-threading, multi-core, and multi-processors; programming multiple threads is more complex than a single thread, and is called concurrent programming. Professor Buhr's initial work in concurrency began by providing concurrency for the C language, called the μSystem. Subsequently, the work shifted to C++ because of its object-oriented features allowing concurrent communication to be statically type-safe. This work has produced a concurrent dialect of C++, called μC++.
