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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The prototype device’s physical hardware attributes are strikingly ordinary-standard computer components executing at 75 MHz. It is the device’s parallel architecture, ease of programming and ...

Modern computer systems are becoming increasingly parallel, which can make them much more challenging to use efficiently. Intel® Parallel Computing Centers (IPCCs) are being established with leading ...

Video transcoding is the problem of converting from one compressed video format to another by decoding to raw video frames and then re-encoding in the new format. In many applications efficient ...

A technical paper titled “Scalable Automatic Differentiation of Multiple Parallel Paradigms through Compiler Augmentation” was published by researchers at MIT (CSAIL), Argonne National Lab, and TU ...
