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 ...

As modern .NET applications grow increasingly reliant on concurrency to deliver responsive, scalable experiences, mastering asynchronous and parallel programming has become essential for every serious ...

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 ...

High Performance Computing (HPC) and parallel programming techniques underpin many of today’s most demanding computational tasks, from complex scientific simulations to data-intensive analytics. This ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...

HAVE computers stopped getting faster? If you looked only at the clock speeds of microprocessor chips, you might well think so. A modern PC typically has a processor running at 3.0GHz (3 billion clock ...
