Intel Experts Answer Your Parallel Programming and Multithreaded App Questions April 18, 2010

If you have questions about application threading, memory management, synchronization, concurrency, or anything else related to parallel programming, who better to ask than the experts at Intel?

Software Research Promises Faster Apps April 6, 2010

A new memory management approach improves parallelism on multi-core systems and reduces the overhead from security checks.

Writing Parallel Programs with Erlang September 15, 2009

Erlang, a language for concurrency, is a good choice for writing parallel programs to fully exploit current and future multicore CPUs.

A Developer's Guide to Python 3.0: Standard Library April 22, 2009

The changes to the standard library in Python 3.0 truly "clean house." The results are both more usable and less cluttered.

Forking and Joining Java to Maximize Multicore Power February 24, 2009

With JSR-166y, Java 7 will get a new way of structuring concurrent programming known as the fork/join framework. Find out how (and when) to use it.

Automatic Full Parallel Processing of Hierarchical SQL Queries February 24, 2009

Although adding multiprocessing capabilities to applications is labor-intensive and error-prone, adding multicore capability to SQL query processing can be automatic, benefiting huge numbers of applications with little developer effort.

Parallel and Concurrency Futures for Microsoft Developers February 24, 2009

Urging developers to build parallel-capable applications is useless until they have the tools to do so—and Microsoft intends to ensure that they have them.

Lots about Locks February 24, 2009

Despite claims by competing technologies, locks remain the best choice for implementing synchronization and protecting critical sections of your code.

Plan for the Future: Express Parallelism, Don't Manage It February 24, 2009

When adding parallelism, the key design choice is to express concurrency in an application without explicitly managing the scheduling of that concurrency onto the hardware.

Getting Started with the .NET Task Parallel Library: Multi-Core Case Studies September 29, 2008

There's more to any programming tool than just theory—and the TPL is no exception. Learn about the techniques Rod Stephens used and the problems he encountered in these parallelism case studies.

Getting Started with the .NET Task Parallel Library September 26, 2008

If you have a multi-core computer, chances are your first CPU does all the work while the others spend most of their time twiddling their electronic thumbs. Learn to unlock the idle power of your underused CPUs to greatly improve the performance of your applications.

Intel ended its sponsorship of Go Parallel on DevX as of January 1, 2009; however, DevX will continue to bring you news, information and programming insights on parallel and multi-core program development across all development platforms. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back often.

Whitepaper: Improving Performance Across Platforms with Multithreading and Qt

Sponsored by Nokia
More and more software applications we use today perform multiple tasks concurrently and seamlessly. Any application that must perform multiple parallel tasks can benefit from multithreading. Qt -- a cross-platform application framework -- offers a range of features, including intuitive C++ APIs, that vastly simplify programming of multithreaded applications.
