+Software Transactional Memory with PyPy
+=======================================
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+PyPy is a fast alternative Python implementation.  Software
+Transactional Memory is a current academic research topic.  Put the two
+together --brew for a couple of years-- and we obtain a version of PyPy
+that runs on multiple cores, without the infamous Global Interpreter
+Lock (GIL).  It has been freshly released in beta, including integration
+with the Just-in-Time compiler.
+
+The talk will also include a "general status of PyPy" part.

-The status of PyPy
-==================
-
-PyPy is an alternative Python interpreter.  It is seriously fast, but
-progress purely in that direction is reaching limits.  Instead, it is
-growing support for a larger part of the Python ecosystem: a long list
-of common libraries are going from "unsupported" to "badly supported" to
-"well supported".  We also have beta Python 3 support.  In short, try
-PyPy today :-)
-
-On the research front, Transactional Memory seems to work as a way to
-run programs on multiple cores.  It is coming along, fully integrated
-with the JIT compiler.  We will show various examples, including
-versions of event libraries (like Twisted, Tornado, greenlet...) that
-run existing non-multithreaded programs on multiple cores.
