Adding more cores is desirable to meet growing computing demands, but it could create more challenges for programmers writing code that enables applications to work effectively with multicore chips.

Programmers will need to 'future-proof' their code to keep up-to-date in case additional cores are added to a computing system, says Intel exec at the Multicore Expo Adding more cores is desirable to ...

While many of us are just beginning to write parallel programs to use multicore, we can already see a crisis looming for those who use raw threads (p-threads or Windows threads) to implement ...

Intel has acquired software company RapidMind in an effort to push development of programs that can exploit the power of Intel’s multicore processors, the company said Friday. The chip maker plans to ...

With the advent of multicore processors such as the Intel Core Duo, which is now commonplace in PCs, software developers must deal with a new wrinkle — getting software to be processed across multiple ...

Intel on Monday is shipping three threading tools to enable developers to better take advantage of newfangled multicore processors. The tools include Threading Building Blocks 1.0, a C++ runtime ...

It’s been a tough year for semiconductors. Between the millions of unbuilt cars and the delayed iPhones, the everyday consumer is developing an understanding of where the brains in their electronics ...

The Multicore Association is establishing specifications for a programming model that will reduce the complexity involved in writing software for multicore chips used in smartphones, tablets and other ...

Multicore is everywhere from mobile devices to the datacenter. Enter ParaSail, a new programming language designed by SofCheck CTO Tucker Taft. ParaSail uses a number of other tricks, some that draw ...
