Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) 3.0

Tue, 04 May 2010 10:59:20 -0400

We are happy to introduce Intel Threading Building Blocks 3.0 (TBB). TBB 3.0 builds on the past four years of TBB by adding to the breadth and depth of features in the library, improving performance, and in the Windows version utilizing the latest developments from Microsoft to support parallelism.

Think Parallel 2010, 5 years of Multicore

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:57:04 -0400

The first multicore x86 processors arrived nearly 5 years ago. Hyper-threading had existed for a number of years before, but we'll probably never acknowledge completely how important that was for getting key changes in licensing and programming... because it doesn't look like it changed much... but it did. I can't imagine how much harder multicore processors would have been without the 5 years of hyperthreading in the market.

Think Parallel in High School

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:32:37 -0400

This I believe: "Parallel Programming is Fundamental" So - next week, I'm part of a small group heading off to put actions to these thoughts and teach parallel programming for three days to high school students and some high school teachers.

Next lesson: parallel programming for high schoolers

Apple's Grand Central Dispatch: Path to Multicore

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:42:38 -0400

Apple has taken multicore to heart with Grand Central Dispatch, a deeply ingrained capability of their Snow Leopard OS to really help with using multicore parallelism. I'm a big fan, including the fact that it is not all new.
