From the Intel Software Network, we find news that Berkeley’s ParLab has hosted a workshop focused on writing design patterns for parallel computing Ok, so…why is this interesting? Consider: the ...

Tim Mattson, a principal engineer at Intel’s Applications Research Laboratory, describes himself as an old-school parallel programmer. He’s been slinging code for impressively parallel machines since ...

A hands-on introduction to parallel programming and optimizations for 1000+ core GPU processors, their architecture, the CUDA programming model, and performance analysis. Students implement various ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Whether modifying an existing application or writing entirely new code, parallel applications can be much more challenging to work with than their sequential counterparts. Without a doubt, the ...
