Intel's James Reinders looks into the algorithms that form the heart of threading building blocks - a C++ template library for parallel programming.

Both parallel programming and asynchronous programming are examples of concurrent programming, meaning more than one operation is running at the same time. Parallel programming is a more specific form ...

Intel's James Reinders presents some recurring themes for developers looking to improve their game when it comes to programming parallel systems ...

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 ...

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

The main challenge consists in deciding how to partition your problem into chunks suitable for parallel execution. As with so many other aspects in parallel programming, this is where experience ...

Intel and Sun say that parallel programming is about to go mainstream.

I hope that this article has shown how parallel programming is for everybody. I've listed a few examples of what I believe to be good areas to apply the concepts presented here, but I'm sure there are ...

The latest release of the C++ programming language, version C++11, includes a capability called Futures that allows programmers to neatly program in parallel, so a program can continue to execute ...
