Tasks are the most basic unit of parallel programming. An increasing number of programming languages (including Java and C++) are moving from older thread-based approaches to more modern task-based ...

With the speed of individual cores no longer increasing at the rate we came to love over the past decades, programmers have to look for other ways to increase the speed of our ever-more-complicated ...

In here, you can find the definition of a new computer programming language that supports procedural and parallel programming, and a fully functional compiler and runtime for it. I have developed the ...

Ask any developer and they will tell you how parallel programming has helped them boost their productivity, perform complex tasks and more. But, there are a few of them who will tell you that parallel ...

Short Bytes: Even though parallel programming is known for its speed and efficiency, it’s not hidden that it brings along complexity in the code. To tackle this problem, some MIT researchers have ...

Modern personal computing devices feature multiple cores. This is not only true for desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones, but also for small embedded devices like the Raspberry Pi. In order to ...
