“At the same time as the first OpenMP drafts were being debated,” Reinders recalls, “ASCI Red was making parallel computing history. The whole concept of massively parallel computing was relatively ...

To be fair, the latest OpenMP 5.0 specification includes a new LOOP directive and a new clause for the parallel DO and FOR directives intended to give compilers more freedom, but OpenMP has been ...

The most common architecture right now (according to the Top500 computer list) is "SPMD" or single program multiple data. In this design each compute core runs the same program on a subset of a ...

OpenMP.org has posted the slides and audio from a day-long tutorial on Hybrid MPI and OpenMP Parallel Programming from SC13. OpenMP is the de facto standard for writing parallel applications for ...

In parallel processing, a software program is written or modified to identify what parts of the computation can be executed on separate processing hardware, Schardl says. Those parts of the ...

New Parallel Studio XE 2016 compilers and libraries support the latest standards and operating systems. Parallel Studio XE 2016 includes updated versions of tools like Thread Building Blocks (TBBs ...

In this video from GoParallel, Jeff Cogswell from Slashdot Media walks through a quick tutorial on Timing Your Parallel Loops in OpenMP. When you need to time how long an OpenMP program runs, you can ...

Concurrent and parallel systems form the bedrock of modern computational infrastructures, enabling vast improvements in processing speed, efficiency and scalability. By orchestrating multiple ...

CS 358 serves as an introduction to the field of parallel computing. Topics include common parallel architectures (shared memory, distributed memory, CPU vs. GPU, multicore vs. multiprocessor), ...
