<mediaitem title="Riding The Multi-core Revolution">
|
||||
<abstract>
|
||||
<p>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.</p>
