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 ...

The default for Intel Xeon Phi processors is to give every processor core equal access to every part of memory including the MCDRAM. That is certainly great for programs that use shared memory across ...

Introduction to parallel computing for scientists and engineers. Shared memory parallel architectures and programming, distributed memory, message-passing data-parallel architectures, and programming.

This course focuses on developing and optimizing applications software on massively parallel graphics processing units (GPUs). Such processing units routinely come with hundreds to thousands of cores ...

The European Commission has anted up €3.9 million to create a set of tools and runtime frameworks that will be used to support the exascale supercomputers to be deployed across the continent in the ...

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 ...

The following excerpt is from chapter 3, User-Level Memory Management, of Arnold Robbins’ book Linux Programming by Example: The Fundamentals, Prentice Hall PTR; (April 12, 2004), used with permission ...

If you want to know the difference between shared GPU memory and dedicated GPU memory, read this post. GPUs have become an integral part of modern-day computers. While initially designed to accelerate ...
