So far, states and localities have found little use for either symmetrical multiprocessing or massively parallel processing, but the situation may be changing. Public-Sector Multiprocessing Emerges ...

In this video from EuroPython 2019, Pierre Glaser from INRIA presents: Parallel computing in Python: Current state and recent advances.. Modern hardware is multi-core. It is crucial for Python to ...

Symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) is a parallel computer architecture in which multiple processors run a single copy of the operating system and share the memory and other resources of one computer.

And how will they play a greater role in the future? Is it safe to say that once the limitations of a given processor are reached, Multiprocessing will extend it functionality further? How about ...

Digital signal processing has been melded to medical-imaging tasks almost from the outset. The biggest medical applications for DSP have been in meeting the image-processing requirements for computed ...

Until recently, SoC design options for software-friendly multiprocessing were limited. Now, new SoC design components, such as the MIPS32 1004K coherent processing system (CPS), mean on-chip symmetric ...

Over at GeekNet, R. Colin Johnson writes that while the new Intel MIC architecture poses some parallel programming challenges, Intel is working with ScaleMP to make this transition nearly painless.
