In this video, Michael Wolfe from PGI begins a series of tutorials on parallel programming. This is the first in a series of short videos to introduce you to parallel programming with OpenACC and the ...

Parallel programming exploits the capabilities of multicore systems by dividing computational tasks into concurrently executed subtasks. This approach is fundamental to maximising performance and ...

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 ...

Every light switch in your house operates in parallel with the others. There’s a new edition of a book, titled Parallel Programming for FPGAs that explores that topic in depth and it is under ...

This month, I give a crash course in parallel programming so you can get a feel for what is involved. There are two broad categories of parallel programs: shared memory and message passing.

This article shows the evolution of parallel programming in C# and explains how to use the new Async paradigm, introduced in C# version 5.0. What Is Parallel Programming?

Two Google Fellows just published a paper in the latest issue of Communications of the ACM about MapReduce, the parallel programming model used to process more than 20 petabytes of data every day ...

For example, consider many parallel computations that areall updating components of a shared array h. With explicitsynchronization (e.g., with threadsand locks ), each update would be expressed as ...

Intel's James Reinders presents some recurring themes for developers looking to improve their game when it comes to programming parallel systems ...

The latest release of the C++ programming language, version C++11, includes a capability called Futures that allows programmers to neatly program in parallel, so a program can continue to execute ...
