Technical Perspective: Programming Multicore Computers
"Can Traditional Programming Bridge the Ninja Performance Gap for Parallel Computing Applications" advocates an appealing division of labor between a developer and a compiler to increase the opportunities for the compiler to generate and optimize parallel machine code.
Can Traditional Programming Bridge the Ninja Performance Gap For Parallel Computing Applications?
Current processor trends of integrating more cores with SIMD units have made it more to extract performance from applications. It is believed that traditional approaches to programming do not apply to these processors. We question this thinking.
