Two Google Fellows just published a paper in the latest issue of Communications of the ACM about MapReduce, the parallel programming model used to process more than 20 petabytes of data every day on ...

Processors recently have added explicit parallelism in the form of multiple cores, and processor road maps are showing the number of cores increasing exponentially over time. This is in addition to ...

Redmond, Wash. — Multicore processors are driving a historic shift to a new parallel architecture for mainstream computers. But a parallel programming model to serve those machines will not emerge for ...

Many hands make light work, or so they say. So do many cores, many threads and many data points when addressed by a single computing instruction. Parallel programming – writing code that breaks down ...

Most notably, the chipmaker announced a compiler source code enabling software developers to add new languages and architecture support to Nvidia’s CUDA parallel programming model. The new ...

A hands-on introduction to parallel programming and optimizations for 1000+ core GPU processors, their architecture, the CUDA programming model, and performance analysis. Students implement various ...

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 ...

In this paper, the authors present a survey of the different parallel programming models and tools available today with special consideration to their suitability for high performance computing. Thus, ...
