Modern personal computing devices feature multiple cores. This is not only true for desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones, but also for small embedded devices like the Raspberry Pi. In order to ...

HAVE computers stopped getting faster? If you looked only at the clock speeds of microprocessor chips, you might well think so. A modern PC typically has a processor running at 3.0GHz (3 billion clock ...

As modern .NET applications grow increasingly reliant on concurrency to deliver responsive, scalable experiences, mastering asynchronous and parallel programming has become essential for every serious ...

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 ...

One size does not fit all, and it never will. Parallel programming looks to level the playing field by leveraging multicore hardware. It was easy to program applications in the days when one chip, one ...
