For a long time now, researchers have been working on automating the process of breaking up otherwise single-threaded code to run on multiple processors by way of multiple threads. Results, although ...

There’s a lot of talk these days about multicore technology and multithreaded development. The trend toward multiple compute cores is growing and having a profound impact on developers across various ...

The next big frontier in computing is concurrent programming (again). In recent years, the technique used to achieve Moore's law has changed: Processors are getting faster by increasing the number of ...

In the past, chip manufacturers increased processor clock speed to double chip performance from 100 MHz to 200 MHz and more recently into the multigigahertz range. Today, however, increasing clock ...

Former Ace’s writer Johan DeGalas has recently put up a good article on how the much-discussed, industry-wide move to multicore CPUs will affect PC and console gaming. The best part of the article, ...
