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.

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 ...

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 ...

Adding more processing cores has emerged as the primary way of boosting performance of server and PC chips, but the benefits will be greatly diminished if the industry can't overcome certain hardware ...

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

As multicore processing architectures grow in popularity, suppliers are rolling out solutions to help engineers program the new breed of devices. PolyCore Software is offering a new version of its ...
