Intel outlines developer toolkit strategies for parallelism
Blog These tools are incredibly powerful but they are not magic, they will not solve all developers’ problems as they move towards parallelism. So how do developers add parallelism to their code? Defending his stance and his company’s strategic...

Feedback Directed Implicit Parallelism
White Papers The approach is to profile the execution of a program; from this to identify pieces of work which are promising sources of parallelism; recompile the program with this work being performed speculatively via a work-stealing system and then to...

Intel outlines developer toolkit strategies for parallelism
Blog Comment Thanks for your reply to my post! In fact, before I embarked upon this trip to meet with Intel I used ZDNet.co.uk's own search function to look up terms such as "multicore" and one of the first pieces I saw was your blog from January of this year...

Intel outlines developer toolkit strategies for parallelism
Blog Comment Sounds like an interesting conference, and I am sure the toolkit will have its takers. Yet Intel only seem to focus on the C++ developer. Perhaps this is because they don't have a managed code language and as such managed code isn't of interest to...

Investigating Storage Layouts to Improve Parallelism in Interactive Brute-Force Search
White Papers As the storage and processing of data becomes less expensive, huge amounts of new data is being generated by government agencies, research labs and other organizations. It is becoming increasingly important to be able to store and search this data...

High-Performance Network Intrusion Detection Through Parallelism
White Papers Network intrusion detection has become increasingly popular in recent years due to the proliferation of Internet-based security attacks. Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) inspect the content of incoming packets on a network for known...

Knuth: multicore engineers 'out of ideas'
Blog Comment I appreciate that a linear task cannot fundamentally benefit from parallelism, but how many of our daily tasks are purely linear? As software and enterprise architecture moves towards service orientation good design should enforce encapsulation of...

Intel Threading Building Blocks: Why Threading Building Blocks?
White Papers Intel Threading Building Blocks offers a rich and complete approach to expressing parallelism in a C++ program. Threading Building Blocks is not just a threads-replacement library;it represents a higher-level, task-based parallelism that abstracts...

Tough choices for supercomputing's legacy apps
Comment Then there is the complex hierarchy of parallelism — from vector-like parallelism required at the local level, through multithreading and onwards to multi-level, massive parallel processing across many nodes.

Intel, HP say Merced will be EPIC
News A big contributor to the performance of IA-64 processors is overcoming problems with things like parallelism, prediction and speculation. IA-64 will boast "explicit parallelism" which exposes, enhances and exploits parallelism and makes it explicit...

Intergraph sues Intel over Itanium
News It uses the EPIC (explicitly parallel instruction computing) instruction set, which the lawsuit claims conflicts with 1993 Intergraph patents relating to instruction routing and parallelism. The patents cover parallel instruction computing (PIC...

Intel updates Itanium line with 'Kittson'
News Wu said Poulson will be based on a new microarchitecture that provides higher levels of parallelism. There will be four or more cores, multithreading enhancements, and we'll also introduce more instructions to take advantage of parallelism...

Intel: Multicore chips outstripping software
News Software has to double the amount of parallelism that it can support every two years. Desktop applications can learn from the way supercomputers and servers have handled things, but another principle, Amdahl's Law, holds that there is only so much...

Taking chips to 10GHz ... and beyond
News They will include other tricks of the trade, such as architectures that can increase parallelism, or the ability to process multiple processor instructions per clock cycle, and better access to larger on-chip data stores, known as caches.

Merced: Intel's 64 bit revolution
News The idea behind EPIC is that this "parallelism" is figured out when the program is initially compiled, cutting out wasted time on guesswork. In effect it gives the processor more explicit instructions on how to execute instructions in parallel...
