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 ...

Adding more processing cores has emerged as the primary way of boosting performance of server and PC chips, but the benefits will be greatly diminished if the industry can't overcome certain hardware ...

Parallel programming exploits the capabilities of multicore systems by dividing computational tasks into concurrently executed subtasks. This approach is fundamental to maximising performance and ...

In embedded systems, scheduling policies control the behaviour of systems which exhibit genuine hardware parallelism and/or software concurrency. These policies may: control the order of execution of ...
