Parallelism used to be the domain of supercomputers working on weather simulations or plutonium decay. It is now part of the architecture of most SoCs. But just how efficient, effective and widespread ...

Parallel STL now makes it possible to transform existing sequential C++ code to take advantage of the threading and vectorization capabilities of modern hardware architectures. It does this by ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Advanced Micro Devices published Tuesday (Aug 14) the first of several plans to extend the x86 instruction set to ease the job of programming multicore processors. With the move, ...

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 ...

In the past few years, terms such as “multi-threading,†“multi-processing,†and marketing terms derived from these have started to appear as features for existing electronic design automation ...

AI thrives on data but feeding it the right data is harder than it seems. As enterprises scale their AI initiatives, they face the challenge of managing diverse data pipelines, ensuring proximity to ...

Intel’s Parallel Studio XE 2016 provides tools that deliver hints on how to improve parallelism so compilers can provide optimization. The compilers and libraries support the latest standards such as ...

The world of free 3D-modeling software tends to be grim when compared to the expensive professional packages. Furthermore, 3D CAD modeling software suggestions seem to throw an uproar when new users ...

The programmer's Pandora's Box has been opened, and boy oh boy is it full of cores. It started out small and manageable with Intel's popular Core 2 and the Athlon 64, but it's getting out of hand ...
