Due to the current scenario in which multi-core architectures are predominant in most personal computers and servers, the knowledge of parallel programming content becomes fundamental for computer ...

Both parallel programming and asynchronous programming are examples of concurrent programming, meaning more than one operation is running at the same time. Parallel programming is a more specific form ...

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 computing has been an important research topic in science and technology for decades. Thanks to the fast-developing field of deep learning in recent years, parallel computing is being used ...

I just finished reading the new book by David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu called Programming Massively Parallel Processors. The generic title notwithstanding, readers should not come to this book expecting ...

This research full paper describes the use of challenges to teach parallel programming, regardless of teaching methodology (traditional, Problem-Based Learning and others) or programming-contest ...

Shared-memory programming is when all of the processors you are using are on a single box. This limits you as to how big your problem can be. When you use message passing, you can link together as ...
