Abstract: Writing a sequential program in an imperative programming language is much easier than writing a distributed algorithm. This paper describes an approach to representing, testing, and ...

Writing correct concurrent programs is harder than writing sequential ones. This is because the set of potential risks and failure modes is larger - anything that can go wrong in a sequential program ...

The authors of my Editor’s Top Picks for this week – Atego’s Kelvin Nilsen and Adacore’s S. Tucker Taft – believe that despite all the tools that allow embedded systems developers to maintain ...

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 ...

Programming patterns for sequential file access in the .NET Framework are described and the performance is measured. The default behavior provides excellent performance on a single disk – 50 MBps both ...

Dr. Guy Blelloch of Carnegie Mellon University has written an article for the folks at CilkArts analyzing why parallel programming seems to be more difficult than sequential programming. He quickly ...
