One size does not fit all, and it never will. Parallel programming looks to level the playing field by leveraging multicore hardware. It was easy to program applications in the days when one chip, one ...

Stanford University has been developing Plasticine, which allows parallel patterns to be reconfigured. “ABSTRACT Reconfigurable architectures have gained popularity in recent years as they allow the ...

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 ...
