To be announced
|
For decades, mainstream parallel processing has been thought of as
|
||||||
|
inevitable. Up until recent years, however, improvements in
|
||||||
|
manufacturing processes and increases in clock speed have provided
|
||||||
|
software with free Moore's Law-scale performance improvements on
|
||||||
|
traditional single-core CPUs. As per-core CPU speed increases have
|
||||||
|
slowed to a halt, processor vendors are embracing parallelism by
|
||||||
|
multiplying the number of cores on CPUs, following what Graphics
|
||||||
|
Processing Unit (GPU) vendors have been doing for years. The Multi-
|
||||||
|
core revolution promises to provide unparalleled increases in
|
||||||
|
performance, but it comes with a catch: traditional serial
|
||||||
|
programming methods are not at all suited to programming these
|
||||||
|
processors and methods such as multi-threading are cumbersome and
|
||||||
|
rarely scale beyond a few cores. Learn how, with hundreds of cores in
|
||||||
|
desktop computers on the horizon, a local software company is looking
|
||||||
|
to revolutionize the way software is written to deliver on the
|
||||||
|
promise multi-core holds.
