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 ...

To see how you might apply the methods outlined in Part 1 to a practical computingproblem, consider the error diffusionalgorithm that is used in manycomputer graphics ...

This week is the eighth annual International Workshop on OpenCL, SYCL, Vulkan, and SPIR-V, and the event is available online for the very first time in its history thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.

Government-funded academic research on parallel computing, stream processing, real-time shading languages, and programmable ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
