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 ...

Both parallel programming and asynchronous programming are examples of concurrent programming, meaning more than one operation is running at the same time. Parallel programming is a more specific form ...

Intel's James Reinders presents some recurring themes for developers looking to improve their game when it comes to programming parallel systems ...

Parallel programming exploits the capabilities of multicore systems by dividing computational tasks into concurrently executed subtasks. This approach is fundamental to maximising performance and ...

I just finished reading the new book by David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu called Programming Massively Parallel Processors. The generic title notwithstanding, readers should not come to this book expecting ...

In the task-parallel model represented by OpenMP, the user specifies the distribution of iterations among processors and then the data travels to the - Read more from Inside HPC & AI News.

Version 6.0 of the OpenMP API is released, which opens up parallel programming to new applications, makes it easier to develop parallel programs, and gives more fine grain control to the developer.
