The Universal Parallel Computing Research Center in Illinois will live stream a presentation on Case Studies in Asynchronous, Message-Driven Shared-Memory Programming on February 24, 2011 at 2:00pm ...

In previous articles (1 and 2) here on insideHPC, James Reinders described “Intel Xeon Phi processor Programming in a Nutshell” for Intel’s 72-core processor. In this special guest feature, he ...

Have a broad understanding of shared memory parallel architectures and programming. Design a shared memory parallel program for a given parallel algorithm using both explicit and implicit parallel ...

Week 5: Putting everything to work: Parallel Reductions. Topics include: global synchronization, kernel decomposition, memory coalescing, non-divergent branching, eliminating shared-memory bank ...

In addition to shared memory programming, Multicore OCaml will also bring improvements to concurrency programming through the introduction of effect handlers, which provide the foundation for non ...

Early programming abstractions for parallel machines go back almost 60 years. In the last half-century, the traditional dichotomy between shared memory and message passing as programming models for ...

An excerpt from Linux Programming by Example: The Fundamentals explaining memory management and the Linux/Unix address space.

This is the second in the series on the essentials of multiprocessor programming. This time around we are going to look at some of the normally little considered effects of having memory being shared ...

Consistency: The guarantee that memory operations are observed in a coherent and predictable order, reflecting the intended programming semantics.
