For a long time now, researchers have been working on automating the process of breaking up otherwise single-threaded code to run on multiple processors by way of multiple threads. Results, although ...

Successive generations of single-core processors no longer show much performance improvement — Moore's Law has run out for the single core, at least in terms of what can be done within the heat and ...

With multithreaded applications, there are situations where it is unavoidable or desirable to wait for other threads. Implementing such wait instruction sequences correctly is important for both ...

AMD has open sourced more than 3,000 routines in its AMD Performance Library for multi-threaded programming. These routines, which will make it easier to build media and other applications for ...

The Rust compiler front end can now use fine-grained parallelism to significantly reduce compile times. Currently experimental, the parallel front end is due in a stable compiler in 2024. Parallel ...

Hyper-Threading is one of those concepts that's been around a long time, and which everyone takes for granted. Despite that, relatively few enthusiasts really understand how it works or what the point ...

Threading refers to the practice of executing programming processes concurrently to improve application performance. While it’s not that common to work with threads directly in business applications, ...
