Intel's James Reinders delves further into threading building blocks - a C++ template library for parallel programming.

A thread to me is something that, typically, there is one thread per processor. The best parallel programs don't query the number of processors and have all their algorithms written around that.

OpenMP is a thread-oriented approach that maps well to existing hardware architectures. Its core elements include thread management, synchronization, and parallel control structures.

Ditto for CUDA, the parallel programming environment that Nvidia created for its Tesla GPU accelerators, which is often used in conjunction with or side-by-side on machines that support OpenMP or ...

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 ...

The company is a champion of major parallel programming efforts and standards such as OpenMP [Open Multi-Processing], MPI (Message Passing Interface) and Intel’s own TBB (Threading Building ...

Modern programming languages have grown in their level of abstraction by offering task-based APIs and parallel structures in addition to manual thread operations. But one aspect of embedded ...

This article shows the evolution of parallel programming in C# and explains how to use the new Async paradigm, introduced in C# version 5.0. What Is Parallel Programming?

Find out more about Asynchronous and Parallel Programming in C# taking place June 24-25 What are the key benefits of using asynchronous programming in C#, and when should it be used? A main purpose of ...

So I'm trying to detect through Visual Basic 6.0 when a voltage change occurs on one of the pins of the serial/parallel port. The whole thing is pretty simple; no data transfer/handshaking/etc ...
