In "Waking Up Multi-Core Processors," I explained how programming toolkits can make parallel programming easier for certain classes of applications.

Even though dual, quad, and octo-core CPUs have been around for a while, it’s a far cry from truly massive parallel computing platforms. The chip manufacturer Adapteva is looking to put dozen… ...

How to Get Programs to Use a Dual-Core Processor. Dual-core processors have two separate cores in them, designed to help increase the processing power of the computer. Using both cores can help ...

Moreover, the ability to run Arduino and MicroPython programs simultaneously on separate cores of a multi-core microcontroller opens up new avenues for parallel processing and task optimization.

The latter will involve fixed-length and data-dependent algorithms, as well as multiple layers of data parallelism such as the processing of pixels, macroblocks, frames and multiple asynchronous ...

Supporting high-definition video-on-demand requires a high-performance transcoding solution. RapidMind has developed a software development platform that makes it possible to exploit the performance ...

Life Log Infrastructure for FoodResearch Project Outline Assuming the post-petaflops parallel architecture will be the combination of general purpose multi-core CPUs and specialized many-core CPUS, a ...

Want to switch between multiple operating systems? A parallel installation or a virtual PC are great options.
