Programmers will need to 'future-proof' their code to keep up-to-date in case additional cores are added to a computing system, says Intel exec at the Multicore Expo Adding more cores is desirable to ...

Although multicore technology offers a game-changing opportunity for improvements in processing performance and power efficiency, it also brings about many new design and programming challenges. As ...

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

With the advent of multicore processors such as the Intel Core Duo, which is now commonplace in PCs, software developers must deal with a new wrinkle — getting software to be processed across multiple ...

In embedded systems, scheduling policies control the behaviour of systems which exhibit genuine hardware parallelism and/or software concurrency. These policies may: control the order of execution of ...
