One size does not fit all, and it never will. Parallel programming looks to level the playing field by leveraging multicore hardware.

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 ...

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

The main challenge consists in deciding how to partition your problem into chunks suitable for parallel execution. As with so many other aspects in parallel programming, this is where experience ...

Intel and Sun say that parallel programming is about to go mainstream.

What Is Parallel Programming? Before talking about parallel programming, let me explain two concepts closely related to it: synchronous and asynchronous execution modes. These modes are important ...
