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 ...

Introduction to parallel computing for scientists and engineers. Shared memory parallel architectures and programming, distributed memory, message-passing data-parallel architectures, and programming.

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 ...

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 ...
