I just finished reading the new book by David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu called Programming Massively Parallel Processors. The generic title notwithstanding, readers should not come to this book expecting ...

One of the best features of using FPGAs for a design is the inherent parallelism. Sure, you can write software to take advantage of multiple CPUs. But with an FPGA you can enjoy massive parallelism ...

In high performance computing, machine learning, and a growing set of other application areas, accelerated, heterogeneous systems are becoming the norm. With that state come several parallel ...

A hands-on introduction to parallel programming and optimizations for 1000+ core GPU processors, their architecture, the CUDA programming model, and performance analysis. Students implement various ...

In the task-parallel model represented by OpenMP, the user specifies the distribution of iterations among processors and then the data travels to the computations. In data-parallel programming, the ...
