We need to motivate universities to produce more.” Those are the words of Steve Conway, research VP for high performance computing (HPC) at analyst house IDC. He’s talking about the challenge of rethinking [...]

Marc Fontaine has published benchmarks revealing his experience parallelising a Haskell application and running it on Intel’s Manycore Testing Lab. I know people are often keen to learn from case studies and see empirical data on multicore programs, so I thought I’d share the pointer with you. It’s interesting because he’s just gone for the [...]

I came across an interesting article the other day. Apart from the broad brush introduction, which spells out the performance potential of multicore technology, a subject that I’m sure we’re all familiar with, it offers a drill down into the Intel Atom processor architecture and strategies for parallelisation. At the moment Atom-based devices are primarily [...]
