As modern .NET applications grow increasingly reliant on concurrency to deliver responsive, scalable experiences, mastering asynchronous and parallel programming has become essential for every serious ...

Intel's James Reinders presents some recurring themes for developers looking to improve their game when it comes to programming parallel systems... I'm James Reinders and, as I've travelled around ...

Computer science is approaching a crisis that some CS experts say could fuel a renaissance of ideas. Very soon, mainstream computers will need an easy-to-use parallel programming model to tap into ...

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 ...

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 ...

Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is ...

One of the best features of using FPGAs for a design is the inherent parallelism. Sure, you can write software to take advantage of multiple CPUs. But with an FPGA you can enjoy massive parallelism ...

Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...
