• Introducing a new parallel programming language: Parasail

    Updated: 2011-08-31 14:24:36
    There was a flurry of press activity around Parasail recently, following a presentation at OSCon in July by Tucker Taft from Sofcheck. Parasail is a new programming language, which borrows from other languages including “the ML/OCaml/F# family, the Lisp/Scheme/Clojure family, the Algol/Pascal/Modula/Ada/Eiffel family, the C/C++/Java/C# family, and the region-based languages (especially Cyclone)”. Where it differentiates [...]

  • Graphics Performance Analyzers – a new release

    Intel has released a new version of its Graphics Performance Analyzers.  This new version – GPA 4.1 – extends performance optimization beyond gaming and graphics to media and has been refined based on input from game and graphics developers.  The previous version was pretty potent as mentioned in an earlier blog posting and this one [...]

  • The Cilk Road to Open Source

    Updated: 2011-08-30 11:18:21
    Intel has announced that it is placing the Cilk Plus Compiler and runtime into open source which means Intel is driving forward endeavours to ensure C/C++ becomes a starting point for a standard parallel programming language.  It’s an interesting move and one that is predicated on simplicity of design, which in the esoteric world of [...]

  • What is the future of parallel programming in .Net?

    Updated: 2011-08-24 12:14:34
    Stephen Toub, who I interviewed on this blog previously, has written an article for the August issue of MSDN Magazine about the future of parallel programming in .NET. He starts by challenging the idea that managed languages shouldn’t be used for parallel programming. They provide a safe and rapid development environment for everyone, and in [...]

  • Intel OpenCL opens for business

    Updated: 2011-08-23 11:57:14
    Intel has released a software development kit for OpenCL, an open and royalty-free standard which enables you to write programs that can run across platforms made up of a mixture of CPUs, GPUs and other processors. These mixed platforms are becoming increasingly prevalent, and OpenCL makes it possible to create a single program that runs [...]

  • Develop 2011: Enhancing video games with traditional art principles

    Updated: 2011-08-22 16:24:14
    Artists have few tools, and work with 2D inanimate objects, yet manage to achieve so much in terms of conveying life and emotion. How do they do this and what can game designers draw from these principles? Considering I spend a decent amount of my time in art galleries, Chris Solarski’s talk at Develop on [...]

  • Updated C++ (C++0x) gets ISO approval

    Updated: 2011-08-16 09:53:28
    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has now unanimously approved the proposed updated version of C++, which means it will now become an international standard. For some time, the new standard has been in development under the name C++0x, with the ’0x’ standing in for the unknown year in which it would be published. It’s 0x [...]

  • How to parallelise and optimise a program

    Updated: 2011-08-15 12:12:57
    You might remember I wrote previously about Aater Suleman’s blog post that kick started an online debate about why parallel programming is so hard. He’s now followed it up with a step-by-step tutorial on parallelising a program. He takes as an example a program to count the number of times each ASCII character occurs on [...]

  • New project aims to “obliterate parallel processing obstacles”

    Updated: 2011-08-10 16:03:37
    I love to see ambition, so I was drawn to the headline on a recent press release from the Multicore Association, which claims the association will obliterate parallel processing obstacles on complex multicore systems. The release concerned the launch of a new working group to create an industry-standard API to support task coordination on embedded [...]
