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 ...

Do you ever get the feeling there’s something not quite right about Swing threading? John Zukowski puts his finger on it in this article. While tracing Swing’s single-threaded event model from Java ...

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 ...

I've been getting a fair number of questions about multi-threading the past couple of weeks. The reason is that Intel has been previewing its "Nehalem EX" Xeon processor in advance of Advanced Micro ...

Many hands make light work, or so they say. So do many cores, many threads and many data points when addressed by a single computing instruction. Parallel programming – writing code that breaks down ...

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 ...
