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 languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

For more on this topic see Using pipelining in multicore LabView and Using data parallelism in multicore LabView. Until recently, advances in computing hardware have provided significant increases in ...
