Would you like to test your parallel programming skills? Then you might participate in the Intel Threading Challenge 2010 and demonstrate your skills in one of two levels of participation. Apprentice level gives programmers new to multithreading and parallelism. Master level targets developers with multithreading experience. Problem 1 of the 1st phase in Apprentice level… Continue reading Intel Threading Challenge 2010

For several decades, software developers (of high performance computing applications) could trust on Moore’s law. The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years. This exponential growth allowed an ever-increasing computing power of modern CPUs. Thus, high performance computing applications became faster by just trusting… Continue reading Free lunch
