The Universal Parallel Computing Research Center in Illinois will live stream a presentation on Case Studies in Asynchronous, Message-Driven Shared-Memory Programming on February 24, 2011 at 2:00pm ...

The default for Intel Xeon Phi processors is to give every processor core equal access to every part of memory including the MCDRAM. That is certainly great for programs that use shared memory across ...

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

This course focuses on developing and optimizing applications software on massively parallel graphics processing units (GPUs). Such processing units routinely come with hundreds to thousands of cores ...

The European Commission has anted up €3.9 million to create a set of tools and runtime frameworks that will be used to support the exascale supercomputers to be deployed across the continent in the ...

It is hard to quantify the amount of effort in systems and application software development that has been done precisely because there is no easy, efficient, and cheap way to make a bunch of cheap ...

Memory models offer the formal frameworks that define how operations on memory are executed in environments with concurrent processes. By establishing rules for the ordering and visibility of memory ...
