Santa Clara, Calif. — The consensus from last week's Multicore Expo here was clear: Putting more than one core on a chip is the best way to elevate performance while keeping power under control. But ...

The Multicore Association is establishing specifications for a programming model that will reduce the complexity involved in writing software for multicore chips used in smartphones, tablets and other ...

In this article we will be discussing various aspects of multicore processing, including a look at different types of multicore processors and why these devices are becoming common and popular today.

Writing software that can simultaneously make use of multiple processors can be hard. Yet the advent of multicore processors--four cores per chip is now common--means that more and more software needs ...

A new evaluation of popular parallel programming languages finds that the C++ library provides the best combination of usability and performance Multicore programming is a tricky problem. Developers ...

February 26, 2013. After 1.5 years of working-group effort, the Multicore Association, a global non-profit organization that develops standards to speed time-to-market for products with multicore ...

Processors recently have added explicit parallelism in the form of multiple cores, and processor road maps are showing the number of cores increasing exponentially over time. This is in addition to ...

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

Giving the keynote address at the Multicore Expo in Santa Clara Tuesday (March 27), Anant Agarwal, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) spoke about how multicore computers will ...

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 ...

You will not get the automatic speedup for your software when you upgrade to a new computer, since the frequency scaling is virtually stopped, and you only get more ...

Adding more cores is desirable to meet growing computing demands, but it could create more challenges for programmers writing code that enables applications to work effectively with multicore chips.
