Two Google Fellows just published a paper in the latest issue of Communications of the ACM about MapReduce, the parallel programming model used to process more than 20 petabytes of data every day on ...

Programmers have been interested in leveraging the highly parallel processing power of video cards to speed up applications that are not graphic in nature for a long time. Here, I explain how to do ...

Introduction to parallel computing for scientists and engineers. Shared memory parallel architectures and programming, distributed memory, message-passing data-parallel architectures, and programming.

An article over at CodeGuru.com for those of you interested in test driving the Visual C++ 2010 CTP The CTP build of Visual C++ 2010 includes a new library to help you write native parallel code.

Intel’s Aater Suleman writes about why parallel programming is so hard in a multicore world. Unlike ST code which would get faster every process generation, MT code has complex non-deterministic ...

Intel Parallel Studio XE and Cluster Studio brings parallel computing tools to Linux and Microsoft Visual Studio developers. The compilers support Intel's Parallel Building Blocks and the Fortran ...

Hi, I’m James Reinders and we’re back with part two on Threading Building Blocks which is a C++ template library that provides everything that we would need to take up an application and make it run ...

Video transcoding is the problem of converting from one compressed video format to another by decoding to raw video frames and then re-encoding in the new format. In many applications efficient ...

From your smartphone to your laptop, today’s tech devices glean their computing power from multi-core processors. Supercomputers contain thousands of cores, and within three to four years a computer ...
