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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this slidecast, Torsten Hoefler from ETH Zurich presents: Data-Centric Parallel Programming. The ubiquity of accelerators in high-performance computing has driven programming complexity beyond the ...

Scalability, simpler debugging, and easier coding are essential to developing a successful parallel-programming approach. Parallel programming is hard. But debugging it is even harder. Unfortunately, ...

I have a couple observations that I would to spark a discussion on programming methodology.<BR><BR>It seems that a lot of programs we discuss are written by following an "imperative programming" ...

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 ...

Multicore processors have been around for many years, and today, they can be found in most devices. However, many developers are doing what they've always done: creating single-threaded programs. They ...
