I wanted to find out where parallel computing stands today, so I talked with James Reinders, Parallel Programming Models Architect at Intel. He has been involved with high-performance computing (HPC) ...

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 ...

The complexity and detail of mathematical models is rapidly increasing in response to the greater availability of quantitative data generated by experiments. The resulting equations to be solved ...

Back in 2000, Ian Buck and a small computer graphics team at Stanford University were watching the steady evolution of computer graphics processors for gaming and thinking about how such devices could ...

From your smartphone to your laptop, today’s tech devices glean their computing power from multi-core processors. Supercomputers contain thousands of cores, and within three to four years a computer ...
