Microprocessors are marching into a multicore future to keep delivering performance gains without frying in their own heat. But mainstream software has yet to find its path to using the new ...

Intel’s Parallel Studio XE 2016 provides tools that deliver hints on how to improve parallelism so compilers can provide optimization. The compilers and libraries support the latest standards such as ...

AMD "Light-Weight Profiling" is the first specification under AMD's Hardware Extensions for Software Parallelism initiative; targeted to helping developers fully leverage the benefits of multi-core ...

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), sequential ...

Parallel STL now makes it possible to transform existing sequential C++ code to take advantage of the threading and vectorization capabilities of modern hardware architectures. It does this by ...

In the first report from last week’s PRACEdays15 conference in Dublin, Tom Wilkie from Scientific Computing World considers why so much Exascale software will be open source and why engineers are not ...

Microsoft has purchased the assets of Interactive Supercomputing (ISC), a desktop parallel-computing vendor, according to a blog post on the Windows Server Division Weblog. The move fits in with ...
