Parallel STL now makes it possible to transform existing sequential C++ code to take advantage of the threading and vectorization capabilities of modern hardware architectures. It does this by ...

The content featured in this article is brand produced and originally appeared on Accelerate, a CMG publication. For Dr. Vijay Swarup, doing things one at a time just doesn’t cut it anymore. As ...

For more than a decade, where ever Intel went with the x86 instruction set, AMD followed. And, ever so briefly, when AMD broke ranks with its 64-bit extensions to that instruction set, Intel followed ...

A specification called “Light-Weight Profiling” (LWP), a mechanism for software to more effectively leverage the benefits of multicore processing, describes technology supporting the recently ...

AMD "Light-Weight Profiling" is the first specification under AMD's Hardware Extensions for Software Parallelism initiative; targeted to helping developers fully leverage the benefits of multi-core ...

Parallel computing for differential equations has emerged as a critical field in computational science, enabling the efficient simulation of complex physical systems governed by ordinary and partial ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...
