The goal is to solve the "burnt pancake problem," where an algorithm must sort elements from largest to smallest by flipping them over, much as a cook would flip a stack of differently sized pancakes.

Parallel processing, an integral element of modern computing, allows for more efficiency in a wide range of applications.

Following his highly anticipated and always-insightful closing night keynote at the recent ISC conference, we caught up with Prof. Thomas Sterling to discuss the state of HPC. Dr. Sterling is ...

Chemical process simulations are crucial for optimizing industrial operations, but they often require significant ...

“Parallel and distributed computing is a central topic in science, engineering and society. ICPP, the International Conference on Parallel Processing, provides a forum for engineers and scientists in ...

Symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) is a parallel computer architecture in which multiple processors run a single copy of the operating system and share the memory and other resources of one computer.

Parallel processing is an idea that will be familiar to most readers. Few of you will not be reading this on a device with only one processor core, and quite a few of you will have experimented wit… ...
