One of the things to avoid when it comes to parallelism is working with raw threads. Abstraction offers a way around the issue, by avoiding the need to deal with low-level details of parallel systems, ...

Parallelism helps applications make the best use of processors on single or multiple devices. However, parallelism implementation itself can prove a challenging task. In this video, Mike Voss, ...

I’m James Reinders. A common question I get asked is “If I’m going to add parallelism to my program, how should I do it? What should I look for?” A seemingly simple question so let’s see if we can ...

Parallel computing is an idea whose time has finally come, but not for the obvious reasons. Parallelism is a computer science concept that is older Moore’s Law. In fact, it first appeared in print in ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. — With instruction-level parallelism out of fashion and thread-level parallelism the buzzword du jour, Intel Corp. is proposing “pseudo-parallelism” as the next step in microprocessor ...

I have to state again that running two threads on a single core processor CAN be faster that running one thread. I have a program that definitely works that way (no Hyperthreading) and my roommate's ...

The addition of multiple cores to microprocessors has created a significant opportunity for parallel programming, but a killer application is needed to push the concept into the mainstream, ...

Escape the single-threaded event loop in browsers and on the server. Here's how to use worker threads and web workers for modern multithreading in JavaScript. The JavaScript language is one of the ...

Hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old ...
