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 ...

Concurrent and parallel systems span from tightly integrated multicore and many-core processors to distributed clusters and cloud infrastructures. At the hardware level, advances in pipelining, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

AMD today made available a new specification describing “Light-Weight Profiling” (LWP), a technology designed to increase the performance of software applications by providing a mechanism that allows ...

Microsoft has purchased the assets of Interactive Supercomputing (ISC), a desktop parallel-computing vendor, according to a blog post on the Windows Server Division Weblog. The move fits in with ...
