Synchronization overhead is necessary to avoid data races, deadlocks, livelocks, or other concurrency errors, but it can also introduce delays, contention, and overhead in parallel computing.

Hadoop with MapReduce combines some of the best features of both distributed computing and concurrent programming with a hefty dose of parallel programming thrown in for good measure. Chuck Lam, ...

Concurrent and parallel systems form the bedrock of modern computational infrastructures, enabling vast improvements in processing speed, efficiency and scalability. By orchestrating multiple ...

Douglas Eadline has an informative article that reviews some of the basic tenets of parallel programming, including the lesson that concurrency is a property of an algorithm, but having it is not the ...

Anyone developing robotics software knows that exercise is about parallel computing, concurrency and coordination. It’s just a hard sell to management.

Parallel computing and concurrent computing are commonly confused and used interchangeably, but the two are distinct: parallelism can exist without concurrency (such as bit-level parallelism), and ...

Programming language constructs for concurrency and parallelism Manyprogramming languages incorporate some notion of concurrent threads,mutual-exclusion locks, and synchronizing signals and waiting.
