• IDC: “Earth doesn’t have enough brainpower to parallelise HPC applications”

    Updated: 2010-11-30 10:48:12
    “There aren’t enough people on planet Earth with the right kind of brainpower and experience to tackle this, but there are some. We need to motivate universities to produce more.” Those are the words of Steve Conway, research VP for high performance computing (HPC) at analyst house IDC. He’s talking about the challenge of rethinking [...]

  • Benchmarking Haskell on 32 cores

    Updated: 2010-11-29 17:26:06
    Marc Fontaine has published benchmarks revealing his experience parallelising a Haskell application and running it on Intel’s Manycore Testing Lab. I know people are often keen to learn from case studies and see empirical data on multicore programs, so I thought I’d share the pointer with you. It’s interesting because he’s just gone for the [...]

  • Intel announces it can build 1,000 core processor

    Updated: 2010-11-26 11:29:13
    Last week, the Supercomputing 2010 conference took place and Intel took to the stage to announce that it already has the capability to build 1,000 core processors. Back in March, Intel demonstrated a 48-core chip at Cebit, as you might remember. Last week, Intel researcher Timothy Mattson told the Supercomputing 2010 conference that this architecture [...]

  • A mighty little thing

    Updated: 2010-11-26 00:00:57
    I came across an interesting article the other day. Apart from the broad brush introduction, which spells out the performance potential of multicore technology, a subject that I’m sure we’re all familiar with, it offers a drill down into the Intel Atom processor architecture and strategies for parallelisation. At the moment Atom-based devices are primarily [...]

  • Using multicore to increase software reliability

    Updated: 2010-11-24 15:59:48
    Ever been to a trade show where they have a million pounds in a safe and it’s yours if you guess the correct combination? The way these promotions work is that the company staging them buys insurance to cover the highly unlikely possibility that someone might guess the combination. The company staging the stunt typically [...]

  • No need for locks?

    Updated: 2010-11-15 14:25:01
    Threads share memory so it’s natural to use shared memory for communication between threads.  However, the problems it leads to, such as data races, mean shared memory must be synchronised. In turn, this has led programmers to try to create locking protocols that eliminate races without introducing deadlocks. One of the posited solutions is to [...]
