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 ...

The parallel port is gone as of the time I'm writing this. But its demise was long and drawn-out, even as supposedly better alternatives came along and tried to take its place. Here's how it finally ...

Parallelism used to be the domain of supercomputers working on weather simulations or plutonium decay. It is now part of the architecture of most SoCs. But just how efficient, effective and widespread ...

The concept of parallelism is not new, and has been mostly the domain of high-performance computing. Low levels of parallelism have always been possible, but programmers have faced a daunting task ...

Stanford and many of the biggest companies in computing will announce Friday, May 2, a joint effort to address a major missed opportunity in information technology: the dearth of software that can ...

For the past 20 years, the industry has sought to deploy hardware/software co-design concepts. While it is making progress, software/hardware co-design appears to have a much brighter future. In order ...

Designing parallel systems that are scalable, low-cost, and power efficient, and yet easily programmable, is arguably one of the biggest challenges facing the computing industry today. This proposal ...
