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 ...

Intel's James Reinders presents some recurring themes for developers looking to improve their game when it comes to programming parallel systems... I'm James Reinders and, as I've travelled around ...

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

I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for good resources to learn parallel/concurrent/multicore programming. I know this is a pretty damn vague question, so bear with me. I've been a ...

I just finished reading the new book by David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu called Programming Massively Parallel Processors. The generic title notwithstanding, readers should not come to this book expecting ...

For example, an engineer may develop a real-time embedded control system at the same time as its human-machine interface. Maybe the system also has a computation-intensive task such as high-speed ...

Hi, I’m James Reinders, and today we’re going to talk about threading building blocks. In fact, this is part one of a look at threading building blocks, which is an interesting template library for ...

Multicore chip designs, large symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) systems, and clustering can bring many processors to bear on an application. But without proper software, they're simply large ...

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 ...
