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 ...

It was easy to program applications in the days when one chip, one core were common. Single-chip solutions remain the target of many systems, especially for mobile applications. But these days, ...

Dr. Guy Blelloch of Carnegie Mellon University has written an article for the folks at CilkArts analyzing why parallel programming seems to be more difficult than sequential programming. He quickly ...

For example, an engineer may develop a real-time embedded control system at the same time as its human-machine interface. Maybe the system also has a computation-intensive task such as high-speed ...

Programmers have been interested in leveraging the highly parallel processing power of video cards to speed up applications that are not graphic in nature for a long time. Here, I explain how to do ...
