So what’s the difference? At a fundamental level, distributed computing and concurrent programming are simply descriptive terms that refer to ways of getting work done at runtime (as is parallel ...

In this video, Torsten Hoefler from ETH Zurich presents: Scientific Benchmarking of Parallel Computing Systems. "Measuring and reporting performance of parallel computers constitutes the basis for ...

He has made deep and wide-ranging contributions to many areas of parallel computing including programming languages, compilers, and runtime systems for multicore, manycore and distributed computers.

Parallel computing has long been a stumbling block for scaling big data and AI applications (not to mention HPC), and Ray provides a simplified path forward. “There’s a huge gap between what it takes ...
