Multicore chip designs, large symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) systems, and clustering can bring many processors to bear on an application. But without proper software, they ...

Recently, I had the good fortune to present a class at the ACM Conference for Computer Science Educators (SIGCSE). While I definitely shared my enthusiasm for parallel programming, I had two key ...

This permeation of sequential thinking through all things related to code has become so ingrained in us, its simply difficult to change. Wheat from Chaff: Most existing parallel programming ...

Making the transition from sequential to implicit parallel programming: Part 5. Since dealing with state (reuse of storage) causes so much difficultyfor parallel execution, we can ask if there are ...
