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

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 ...

The programmer can work around this manually, through standard parallel programming practices, but the resulting code can quickly become a tangled mess, a condition sometimes referred to as ...

Exploiting Parallelism Intel is helping developers exploit parallelism and is working on helping them find opportunities for parallelism and debugging parallel programs.

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 ...

I’m James Reinders and as I've travelled around talking to programmers about parallel programming I’ve come up with a set of rules of thumb; recurring themes about what makes programmers more ...

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 ...
