Apache Spark Lets You Take Parallel Programming Across a Cluster
Parallel programming in a cluster of nodes shares many of the same concepts as parallel programming across cores and vectors. Apache Spark is a clustered, in-memory processing engine that lets you scale your software across thousands of nodes. Jeff Cogswell introduces it. When working in parallel programming, we often live …

Multithreaded Code Made Easy with Worksharing Constructs
OpenMP includes four constructs that together make up what are called worksharing constructs. Three of these are available in C++ and all four are available in Fortran. Jeff Cogswell shows you how you can use them to easily write multithreaded code. OpenMP includes many different constructs for dividing up your …

Baby Twin Stars Give Insight into How Binary Stars Are Born
Astronomers have used a large telescope to observe how spirals of gas feed and develop “baby” twin stars. Their observations reveal, for the first time, the mechanism by which binary stars form and grow, according to a recent press release by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). Astronomers have …

Scale Performance from Multicore to Many-Core
Implementing a parallel algorithm can get frustrating at times. Developers can thread an application, but see little performance gain. Or they can hit a scalability ceiling where performance gains level off as more cores are added. A newly updated tool, the Advisor XE 2015, can help solve those issues by …

Boost Your App Performance with Optimization Reports
Intel’s latest compilers produce new, user-friendly optimization reports that provide developers the information they need to increase the performance of their applications. Previous compilers scattered information across different reports, resulting in messages that were cryptic, confusing or not logically ordered. The single report stream was also hard to navigate, hard …
