Investing in hardware for parallel programmability
posted by Jim Held on March 23, 2009 at Research@Intel
About a year ago, Intel and Microsoft each invested $10M in jointly funding Universal Parallel Computing Research Centers at UC Berkeley and U of Illinois to make parallel programming mainstream in future client software. I’ve had the pleasure of attending...

Taking Multi-core Programming Into The Bazaar: An Argument for Open Source Tools
posted by Anwar Ghuloum (葛安华) on April 07, 2008 at Research@Intel
All the major CPU manufacturers have thrown their lot in with multi-core designs. The (multi-billion dollar) question now is how to program these devices. I can tell you with some confidence that we don’t yet know what the answer will...

C for Throughput Computing
posted by Anwar Ghuloum (葛安华) on January 03, 2008 at Research@Intel
One of the challenges of enabling parallel computing broadly is that there is (understandably) some inertia around migrating programming tools, build environments, and, generally, 100’s of thousands or millions of lines of code to new programming models or compilers (especially...

What Makes Parallel Programming Hard?
posted by Anwar Ghuloum (葛安华) on August 03, 2007 at Research@Intel
One of the challenges of multi-core and tera-scale architecture is how to make parallel programming “easier”. But what makes it hard in the first place? I thought it might be worth explaining some of our experiences with this as a...

Groundhog Day: A Personal Perspective on Multi-core Computing
posted by Anwar Ghuloum (葛安华) on July 27, 2007 at Research@Intel
In the 1993 comedy “Groundhog Day”, Bill Murray finds himself reliving the same (eponymous) day again and again until he mends his ways and becomes a better person. Nearly twenty years ago, when I entered graduate school, parallel computing was...
