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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As hardware designers turn toward multicore processors to improve computing power, software programmers must find new programming strategies that harness the power of parallel computing. One technique ...

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 ...

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.

Programmers will need to 'future-proof' their code to keep up-to-date in case additional cores are added to a computing system, says Intel exec at the Multicore Expo Adding more cores is desirable to ...
