For years, processor manufacturers have been improving the performance of CPUs by increasing clock speed. The latest trend, however, in processor technology is multiple cores. Essentially, this means ...

Adding more cores is desirable to meet growing computing demands, but it could create more challenges for programmers writing code that enables applications to work effectively with multicore chips.

Adding more processing cores has emerged as the primary way of boosting performance of server and PC chips, but the benefits will be greatly diminished if the industry can’t overcome certain hardware ...

SAN FRANCISCO (11/04/2008) – With the advent of multicore processors such as the Intel Core Duo, which is now commonplace in PCs, software developers must deal with a new wrinkle — getting software 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 ...

As the majority of the embedded industry rapidly makes the transition to using multicore technology, it is becoming increasingly clear that there must be standard benchmarks for measuring the ...

Pervasive Software's DataRush is one of a new generation of products and platforms that aim to simplify multithreaded programming for application developers. Gordon Haff is Red Hat's cloud evangelist ...

How do we deal with the challenges of next generation mobile platforms moving toward eight to ten processor cores, and game platform and large-screen, high-definition, Internet-enabled televisions ...

Adding more cores is desirable to meet growing computing demands, but it could create more challenges for programmers writing code that enables applications to work effectively with multicore chips.

With the advent of multicore processors such as the Intel Core Duo, which is now commonplace in PCs, software developers must deal with a new wrinkle — getting software to be processed across multiple ...
