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 ...

Intel and Sun say that parallel programming is about to go mainstream.

The latest release of the C++ programming language, version C++11, includes a capability called Futures that allows programmers to neatly program in parallel, so a program can continue to execute ...

High Performance Computing (HPC) and parallel programming techniques underpin many of today’s most demanding computational tasks, from complex scientific simulations to data-intensive analytics.

In the task-parallel model represented by OpenMP, the user specifies the distribution of iterations among processors and then the data travels to the - Read more from Inside HPC & AI News.
