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 ...

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

This week is the eighth annual International Workshop on OpenCL, SYCL, Vulkan, and SPIR-V, and the event is available online for the very first time in its history thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.

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 ...

Difficulties in programming the code supercomputers run on is becoming one of the biggest productivity killers of engineering and scientific discovery, according to a new survey from the Simon ...

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 ...

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 ...

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