It evolved from an earlier concept known as the Parallel Random-Access Machine/model (PRAM), which was an early attempt at parallel programming. The PRAM attempt was considered as having a great ...

High Performance Computing (HPC) and parallel programming techniques underpin many of today’s most demanding computational tasks, from complex scientific simulations to data-intensive analytics. This ...

Douglas Eadline wrote another great article on the current and future state of parallel programming paradigms [say that three times fast!]. Again, I agree with his overall prognosis. Parallel ...

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 ...

A technical paper titled “Scalable Automatic Differentiation of Multiple Parallel Paradigms through Compiler Augmentation” was published by researchers at MIT (CSAIL), Argonne National Lab, and TU ...
