Parallel STL now makes it possible to transform existing sequential C++ code to take advantage of the threading and vectorization capabilities of modern hardware architectures. It does this by ...

For more than a decade, where ever Intel went with the x86 instruction set, AMD followed. And, ever so briefly, when AMD broke ranks with its 64-bit extensions to that instruction set, Intel followed ...

A specification called “Light-Weight Profiling” (LWP), a mechanism for software to more effectively leverage the benefits of multicore processing, describes technology supporting the recently ...

The content featured in this article is brand produced and originally appeared on Accelerate, a CMG publication. For Dr. Vijay Swarup, doing things one at a time just doesn’t cut it anymore. As ...

I missed last year’s event, but attended the 2007 conference when Intel’s chief software evangelist James Reinders took time out with the audience to explain the nuances associated with threading and ...

New Parallel Studio XE 2016 compilers and libraries support the latest standards and operating systems. Parallel Studio XE 2016 includes updated versions of tools like Thread Building Blocks (TBBs).

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 ...

Decoupled SoftWare Pipelining (DSWP) is a program partitioning method enabling compilers to extract pipeline parallelism from sequential programs. Parallel Stage DSWP (PS-DSWP) is an extension that ...

AMD "Light-Weight Profiling" is the first specification under AMD's Hardware Extensions for Software Parallelism initiative; targeted to helping developers fully leverage the benefits of multi-core ...

In the first report from last week’s PRACEdays15 conference in Dublin, Tom Wilkie from Scientific Computing World considers why so much Exascale software will be open source and why engineers are not ...
