Writing software that can simultaneously make use of multiple processors can be hard. Yet the advent of multicore processors--four cores per chip is now common--means that more and more software needs ...

The Multicore Association is establishing specifications for a programming model that will reduce the complexity involved in writing software for multicore chips used in smartphones, tablets and other ...

In this article we will be discussing various aspects of multicore processing, including a look at different types of multicore processors and why these devices are becoming common and popular today.

Santa Clara, Calif. — The consensus from last week's Multicore Expo here was clear: Putting more than one core on a chip is the best way to elevate performance while keeping power under control. But ...

A new evaluation of popular parallel programming languages finds that the C++ library provides the best combination of usability and performance Multicore programming is a tricky problem. Developers ...

Processors recently have added explicit parallelism in the form of multiple cores, and processor road maps are showing the number of cores increasing exponentially over time. This is in addition to ...

There’s a lot of talk these days about multicore technology and multithreaded development. The trend toward multiple compute cores is growing and having a profound impact on developers across various ...

February 26, 2013. After 1.5 years of working-group effort, the Multicore Association, a global non-profit organization that develops standards to speed time-to-market for products with multicore ...

Parallel programming exploits the capabilities of multicore systems by dividing computational tasks into concurrently executed subtasks. This approach is fundamental to maximising performance and ...

While many of us are just beginning to write parallel programs to use multicore, we can already see a crisis looming for those who use raw threads (p-threads or Windows threads) to implement ...

Java is fast becoming a platform for coding programs that react to events rather than simply executing a string of commands Reactive programming, in which programs react to events, is gathering steam ...
