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 ...

Modern software takes computational speed for granted. But modern microprocessors can only speed up by increasing the number of cores. To take full advantage of multiple cores, software developers ...

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 ...

Write program to run in parallel? Yes. Did you remember to use a Scalable Memory Allocator? No? Then read on … In my experience, making sure “memory allocation” for a program is ready for parallelism ...

Computer science is approaching a crisis that some CS experts say could fuel a renaissance of ideas. Very soon, mainstream computers will need an easy-to-use parallel programming model to tap into ...

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 ...

In this episode of eSpeaks, Jennifer Margles, Director of Product Management at BMC Software, discusses the transition from traditional job scheduling to the era of the autonomous enterprise. eSpeaks’ ...

I’m James Reinders and today we’re going to talk about three key challenges that you need to have in mind as you approach adding parallelism to a project. So you’ve heard about parallelism, you’ve ...

Today's programmable GPUs are the latest instantiation of programmable accelerators. Going back to the 1970s, the Floating Point Systems AP-120 and FPS-164 attached processors provided mainframe ...
