Parallel Programming 2.0

November 7, 2007 lecture by Renee James and Wei Li for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE 380). Renee and her co-presenter touch upon Intel's processor direction for multi-core and then dive into its impact to software; parallel programming in the mainstream has different characteristics than in the previous era when it was restricted to high performance computing - the two cover this new paradigm, its challenges and some of the solutions being developed by the software industry.

It is more simple than I thought.

Did this video read like an advertisement to anybody else. The points made were: we're really good at software; we have a software suite that'll solve all your problems; to take advantage of multiprocessors use threading (multi-processor architectures are actually more robust); throw out some arbitrary bs benchmark info and encourage micro-optimization (bad); our software will make your wildest dreams come true. 4k globals over 100k lines of code. That's reason enough not to buy their software.

It's not that hard

thank you

The subject is really not nearly as complex as he makes it seem.
