Microsoft has provided support for parallel programming in .Net Framework to leverage the benefits of multi core systems. In this post, I will present a discussion on the support for Parallel ...

Intel director James Reinders explains the difference between task and data parallelism, and how there is a way around the limits imposed by Amdahl's Law... I'm James Reinders, and I'm going to cover ...

Real-time scheduling of parallel tasks in multiprocessor systems is a critical field that underpins the reliability and efficiency of modern computing in applications ranging from embedded systems to ...

For nearly 10 years, computer processors have been getting faster by using multiple cores rather than raising their individual speeds. This measure makes our PCs and smartphones more power-efficient, ...

As hardware designers turn toward multicore processors to improve computing power, software programmers must find new programming strategies that harness the power of parallel computing. One technique ...

This fall will mark twenty years since the publication of the v1.0 specification of OpenMP Fortran. From early loop parallelism to a heterogeneous, exascale future, OpenMP has apparently weathered ...

Huge volumes of data need near-supercomputer power to process and analyze it all. You can get there with the .NET Task Parallel Library. As Web and mobile applications face the challenge of quickly ...
