Parallel STL now makes it possible to transform existing sequential C++ code to take advantage of the threading and vectorization capabilities of modern hardware architectures. It does this by ...

The concept of parallelism is not new, and has been mostly the domain of high-performance computing. Low levels of parallelism have always been possible, but programmers have faced a daunting task ...

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), sequential ...

For the past 20 years, the industry has sought to deploy hardware/software co-design concepts. While it is making progress, software/hardware co-design appears to have a much brighter future. In order ...

Concurrent and parallel systems span from tightly integrated multicore and many-core processors to distributed clusters and cloud infrastructures. At the hardware level, advances in pipelining, ...

Information technology (IT) has the potential to continue to dramatically transform how we work and live. One might expect that future IT advances will occur as a natural continuation of the stunning ...
