For years, processor manufacturers have been improving the performance of CPUs by increasing clock speed. The latest trend, however, in processor technology is multiple cores. Essentially, this means ...

Programming challenges are biggest when the application and the implementation architecture are orthogonal. Application-specific architectures offer little opportunity for software to be a ...

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
