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 ...

This month, I give a crash course in parallel programming so you can get a feel for what is involved. There are two broad categories of parallel programs: shared memory and message passing.

Every light switch in your house operates in parallel with the others. There’s a new edition of a book, titled Parallel Programming for FPGAs that explores that topic in depth and it is under ...

An associated web site lets readers download fully operational, time-limited versions of a C-based FPGA design compiler. The web site also offers programming tips and extra examples. In addition ...

Dr. Guy Blelloch of Carnegie Mellon University has written an article for the folks at CilkArts analyzing why parallel programming seems to be more - Read more from Inside HPC & AI News.

This online research computing specialization introduces learners to the fundamentals of high performance and parallel computing and includes big data analysis, machine learning, parallel programming, ...

The text assumes that readers already have an understanding of basic computer science principles (how to write a correct sequential program, the basics of algorithmic complexity, and the like), and ...

How a 1974 parallel programming model may solve problems with the threading approach, including racing and non-determinism.

High Performance Computing (HPC) and parallel programming techniques underpin many of today’s most demanding computational tasks, from complex scientific simulations to data-intensive analytics ...

In this paper we consider a class of parallel machine scheduling problems and their associated set-partitioning formulations. We show that the tightness of the linear programming relaxation of these ...
