I’m James Reinders and as I've travelled around talking to programmers about parallel programming I’ve come up with a set of rules of thumb; recurring themes about what makes programmers more ...

It was easy to program applications in the days when one chip, one core were common. Single-chip solutions remain the target of many systems, especially for mobile applications. But these days, ...

Dr. Guy Blelloch of Carnegie Mellon University has written an article for the folks at CilkArts analyzing why parallel programming seems to be more difficult than sequential programming. He quickly ...

I've been covering various scientific programs the past few months, but sometimes it's hard to find a package that does what you need. In those cases, you need to go ahead and write your own code.

Hi, I’m James Reinders and we’re back with part two on Threading Building Blocks which is a C++ template library that provides everything that we would need to take up an application and make it run ...

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

eSpeaks’ Corey Noles talks with Rob Israch, President of Tipalti, about what it means to lead with Global-First Finance and how companies can build scalable, compliant operations in an increasingly ...

Programmers have been interested in leveraging the highly parallel processing power of video cards to speed up applications that are not graphic in nature for a long time. Here, I explain how to do ...

Modern personal computing devices feature multiple cores. This is not only true for desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones, but also for small embedded devices like the Raspberry Pi. In order to ...

From your smartphone to your laptop, today’s tech devices glean their computing power from multi-core processors. Supercomputers contain thousands of cores, and within three to four years a computer ...
