Why AMD's triple core Phenom is a bigger deal than you think

AMD rolled out its Phenom triple core processor and the reactions ranged from "triple core is a marketing spiel" to "triple core gives consumers another option." Both reactions miss the big picture. The big picture is that AMD's triple core chip is a nice intersection where engineering meets...

The death of single threaded development

Applications use to get free performance boosts whenever the clock speed on the CPU and memory bus went up at an exponential rate.  For two decades, applications just magically doubled in speed every two years without any requirement to redesign the code but the era the "free lunch" performance boosts...

Abstract approaches to parallelism

One of the things to avoid when it comes to parallelism is working with raw threads. Abstraction offers a way around the issue, by avoiding the need to deal with low-level details of parallel systems, as James Reinders explains.

Key open-source programming tool due for overhaul

Key open-source programming tool due for overhaulI fail to see the profundity.I mean, I use gcc. A new version will be nice and all...But I fail to see what the "profound importance" is.Better optimization? Great!
