Whether modifying an existing application or writing entirely new code, parallel applications can be much more challenging to work with than their sequential counterparts. Without a doubt, the ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

Multicore chip designs, large symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) systems, and clustering can bring many processors to bear on an application. But without proper software, they're simply large ...

The efficient implementation of pure declarative languages is alsovery difficult (curiously, the implementation problem is the dual ofthe automatic parallelization problem, an observation that we ...

Redmond, Wash. — Multicore processors are driving a historic shift to a new parallel architecture for mainstream computers. But a parallel programming model to serve those machines will not emerge for ...

A new evaluation of popular parallel programming languages finds that the C++ library provides the best combination of usability and performance Multicore programming is a tricky problem. Developers ...

HAVE computers stopped getting faster? If you looked only at the clock speeds of microprocessor chips, you might well think so. A modern PC typically has a processor running at 3.0GHz (3 billion clock ...
