Adding more processing cores has emerged as the primary way of boosting performance of server and PC chips, but the benefits will be greatly diminished if the industry can’t overcome certain hardware ...

Programmers will need to 'future-proof' their code to keep up-to-date in case additional cores are added to a computing system, says Intel exec at the Multicore Expo Adding more cores is desirable to ...

The Multicore Association is establishing specifications for a programming model that will reduce the complexity involved in writing software for multicore chips used in smartphones, tablets and other ...
