The Universal Parallel Computing Research Center in Illinois will live stream a presentation on Case Studies in Asynchronous, Message-Driven Shared-Memory Programming on February 24, 2011 at 2:00pm ...

The default for Intel Xeon Phi processors is to give every processor core equal access to every part of memory including the MCDRAM. That is certainly great for programs that use shared memory across ...

Editor's note: The authors describe how the OpenMP shared memory muliticore programming model is being adapted to the needs of embedded systems designs. Multicore embedded systems are widely used in ...

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

This course focuses on developing and optimizing applications software on massively parallel graphics processing units (GPUs). Such processing units routinely come with hundreds to thousands of cores ...

It is hard to quantify the amount of effort in systems and application software development that has been done precisely because there is no easy, efficient, and cheap way to make a bunch of cheap ...

Raising the abstraction level for computation and communication specification seems the only way to master the complexity of mapping a large software application onto an multi-processor ...

In this pair of articles on performance and memory covers basic concepts to provide guidance to developers seeking to improve software performance. These articles specifically address memory and data ...

I've been covering various scientific programs the past few months, but sometimes it's hard to find a package that does what you need. In those cases, you need to go ahead and write your own code.
