Parallelism used to be the domain of supercomputers working on weather simulations or plutonium decay. It is now part of the architecture of most SoCs. But just how efficient, effective and widespread ...

Intel director James Reinders explains the difference between task and data parallelism, and how there is a way around the limits imposed by Amdahl's Law... I'm James Reinders, and I'm going to cover ...

In part one of this article, we show how video applications present opportunities for multiple forms of parallelism. We then review the hardware and software approaches for exploiting these ...

Many hands make light work, or so they say. So do many cores, many threads and many data points when addressed by a single computing instruction. Parallel programming – writing code that breaks down ...

In the preceding six chapters, we reviewed the various types of parallelism when constructing sentences. We saw how using the same function words can match and balance the clauses and phrases in a ...
