Memory and threading errors are very hard to find and correct just by looking at the code. Memory leaks, data corruption, illegal accesses, data races, deadlocks, and so on, are rarely detectable this ...

Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is ...

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.

The addition of multiple cores to microprocessors has created a significant opportunity for parallel programming, but a killer application is needed to push the concept into the mainstream, ...

BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quadric (quadric.io), an innovator in high-performance edge processing, has introduced a unified silicon and software platform that unlocks the power of on-device ...

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 ...

In any embedded application, once the code is implemented, typically it fails due to bugs in the program. It is rare to find complex code that is written correctly the first time and requires no ...

HAVE computers stopped getting faster? If you looked only at the clock speeds of microprocessor chips, you might well think so. A modern PC typically has a processor running at 3.0GHz (3 billion clock ...
