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 ...

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 ...

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

To see how you might apply the methods outlined in Part 1 to a practical computingproblem, consider the error diffusionalgorithm that is used in manycomputer graphics ...

In this slidecast, Torsten Hoefler from ETH Zurich presents: Data-Centric Parallel Programming. The ubiquity of accelerators in high-performance computing has driven programming complexity beyond the ...

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.

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 ...

Intel's James Reinders presents some recurring themes for developers looking to improve their game when it comes to programming parallel systems... I'm James Reinders and, as I've travelled around ...

This course focuses on developing and optimizing applications software on massively parallel graphics processing units (GPUs). Such processing units routinely come with hundreds to thousands of cores ...
