Parallel programming exploits the capabilities of multicore systems by dividing computational tasks into concurrently executed subtasks. This approach is fundamental to maximising performance and ...

In this video, Kathleen Knobe from Intel presents: Concurrent Collections (CnC): A New Approach to Parallel Programming. Instead of viewing the language design problem as one of providing the ...

I just recently finished reading Introduction to Concurrency in Programming Languages, one of the entries in CRC’s incredibly active Computational Science Series (“Incredibly active?” Yes: the series ...

Advanced study in models of computation, programming languages and algorithms with a specific focus on concurrent programming. The course includes models of computation, programming language paradigms ...

One size does not fit all, and it never will. Parallel programming looks to level the playing field by leveraging multicore hardware. It was easy to program applications in the days when one chip, one ...

You will not get the automatic speedup for your software when you upgrade to a new computer, since the frequency scaling is virtually stopped, and you only get more ...

Microsoft announced last week a new version of its Robotics Developer Studio (RDS) suite. Company officials emphasized the fact Microsoft is making the R3 version of RDS available freely to all -- ...

Multicore processors have been around for many years, and today, they can be found in most devices. However, many developers are doing what they've always done: creating single-threaded programs. They ...
