Intel co-founder Gordon Moore famously wrote about how the number of transistors on silicon chips would double roughly every two years—an observation ...

Instead, he proposes to teach parallel programming first and foremost, with sequential programming being a special case of that.

But, in addition, most existing approaches to producing parallelprograms are very hard, whether they involve automatically convertingexisting sequential programs into parallel ones, or whether ...

Testing concurrent programs is also harder than testing sequential ones. This is trivially true: tests for concurrent programs are themselves concurrent programs. But it is also true for another ...

In “ ParaSail: less is more with multicore, ” Taft takes another approach to migrating to a more efficient parallel programming environment. He says Parasail will allow embedded developers to stick ...

Programming general purpose multi-core processors is generally regarded as impossible, but XMOS Semiconductor has done it and is applying it in practical applications, according to the CTO of XMOS, ...

Güzin Bayraksan, David P. Morton, A Sequential Sampling Procedure for Stochastic Programming, Operations Research, Vol. 59, No. 4 (July • August • 2011), pp. 898-913 ...

An iteration of the sequential quadratically constrained quadratic programming method (SQCQP) consists of minimizing a quadratic approximation of the objective function subject to quadratic ...

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 ...
