Parallel STL now makes it possible to transform existing sequential C++ code to take advantage of the threading and vectorization capabilities of modern hardware architectures. It does this by ...

Parallel computing for differential equations has emerged as a critical field in computational science, enabling the efficient simulation of complex physical systems governed by ordinary and partial ...

AMD "Light-Weight Profiling" is the first specification under AMD's Hardware Extensions for Software Parallelism initiative; targeted to helping developers fully leverage the benefits of multi-core ...

In the past few years, terms such as “multi-threading,†“multi-processing,†and marketing terms derived from these have started to appear as features for existing electronic design automation ...

Parallelism used to be the domain of supercomputers working on weather simulations or plutonium decay. It is now part of the architecture of most SoCs. But just how efficient, effective and widespread ...

In the first report from last week’s PRACEdays15 conference in Dublin, Tom Wilkie from Scientific Computing World considers why so much Exascale software will be open source and why engineers are not ...

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), sequential ...

Parallel development is an essential technique for boosting the productivity of big software development teams that must make numerous changes to a large source-code base. To employ that technique, ...

A specification called “Light-Weight Profiling” (LWP), a mechanism for software to more effectively leverage the benefits of multicore processing, describes technology supporting the recently ...

Feature-rich consumer products and the need for these products to support increasing performance demands at lower cost and less power is not a new issue. Nor is the fact that the power ceiling has ...
