Compilers are programs that convert computer code written in high-level languages intelligible to humans into low-level instructions executable by machines. But there's more than one way to implement ...

Mitrionics announced details and early performance numbers this week from a recent research project they performed internally. The proof-of-concept compiler project was spearheaded by their chief ...

Stencil computations form the backbone of many scientific and engineering simulations by updating each point in a structured grid based on a fixed pattern of neighbouring values. Achieving high ...

As we have heard time and again, one of the greatest challenges for future exascale class computing—the one that falls right under power consumption–is how codes are ever going to evolve to take ...

All major OEMs and software suppliers of the automotive industry are committed to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). A close look, though, raises questions on the demands ADAS applications ...

A common use case for high-level synthesis (HLS) is taking 3rd party generated or legacy C/C++ algorithms and converting the algorithm to a hardware implementation using an HLS compiler. This can ...

Intel has announced major updates for its C++ and Fortran tools, updates that are aimed at making it easier for programmers to exploit thread-level and data-level parallelism in multicore processors.

I have been frequently asked when the OpenMP and OpenACC directive APIs for parallel programming will merge, or when will one of them (usually OpenMP) will replace the other. I doubt the two APIs will ...

Researchers at MIT claim their modifications to the LLVM compiler framework can help more kinds of code take advantage of parallel processing, with little or no developer effort If you want to go fast ...

Today's programmable GPUs are the latest instantiation of programmable accelerators. Going back to the 1970s, the Floating Point Systems AP-120 and FPS-164 attached processors provided mainframe ...
