Introduction to parallel computing for scientists and engineers. Shared memory parallel architectures and programming, distributed memory, message-passing data-parallel architectures, and programming.

Recently, I had the good fortune to present a class at the ACM Conference for Computer Science Educators (SIGCSE). While I definitely shared my enthusiasm for parallel programming, I had two key goals ...

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 ...

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

Government-funded academic research on parallel computing, stream processing, real-time shading languages, and programmable ...

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 ...

Intel Parallel Studio XE and Cluster Studio brings parallel computing tools to Linux and Microsoft Visual Studio developers. The compilers support Intel's Parallel Building Blocks and the Fortran ...

James Reinders, Intel's head of software development products, sets out some of the company's plans for encouraging more developers to switch to parallel programming. With many programmers barely ...

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 ...
