Two Google Fellows just published a paper in the latest issue of Communications of the ACM about MapReduce, the parallel programming model used to process more than 20 petabytes of data every day on ...
As modern .NET applications grow increasingly reliant on concurrency to deliver responsive, scalable experiences, mastering asynchronous and parallel programming has become essential for every serious ...
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), sequential ...
Victor Eijkhout: I see several problems with the state of parallel programming. For starters, we have too many different programming models, such as threading, message passing, and SIMD or SIMT ...
