It's not news these days that multicore and parallelization are a very big deal indeed. Which is why we've been covering these topics like the dew covers Dixie. For starters, there are articles like ...

 

• Multicore Processors  by Richard Kaufmann and Bruce Gayliard.
  
• Parallel LINQ by Paul Kimmel
  
• The Challenges of Developing Multithreaded Processing Pipelines  by Ryan Bloom
  
• Extreme FORTH  by Stephen Pelc
  
• Parallel Extensions to the .NET Framework by Matt Davey
  
• Fast String Search on Multicore Processors  by Daniele Paolo Scarpazza, Oreste Villa, and Fabrizio Petrini
  
• Rules for Parallel Programming for Multicore by James Reinders
  
• It's Time to Get Good at Functional Programming by Michael Swaine
  

Then there's everything written by Herb Sutter in his "Effective Concurrency" column. Stuff like:

• Measuring Parallel Performance: Optimizing a Concurrent Queue
• Understanding Parallel Performance

and, of course, his landmark wake-up call to software developers:

• A Fundamental Turn Toward Concurrency in Software

Not to mention Rob Farber's great ongoing series on:

• CUDA, Supercomputing for the Masses

But like I said, this isn't today's news. No, the news today is that we've launched a website called Dr. Dobb's Go-Parallel that's specifically devoted to parallelism and multi-core and our hope is that it becomes  your one-stop-shopping locale for all things parallel. That includes a huge (and growing) library of articles, videos, and the like about parallel programming, along with blogs by the likes of Stephen Blair-chappell, Markus Levy, Cameron and Tracey Hughes, and Jack Woehr, among others.

And it should come as no surprise that we're always looking for more of the same -- articles that show the techniques you've come up with to develop parallel applications for multi-core systems. If something comes to mind, drop me a note at jerickson@ddj.com

In the meantime, go parallel -- or get left behind.
