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, ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

As Nvidia marks two decades of CUDA, its head of high-performance computing and hyperscale reflects on the platform’s journey ...

MIT computer scientists have developed a new coding language to make it much faster for computers to retrieve results when analysing big data MIT Computer scientists in the US have developed a ...

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 ...

Mithal led the development of two parallel computing languages, Id and pH, and also founded two start-ups – one of which went on to be acquired by Broadcom. Renowned computer scientist and professor ...
