As hardware designers turn toward multicore processors to improve computing power, software programmers must find new programming strategies that harness the power of parallel computing. One technique ...

I’m James Reinders. A common question I get asked is “If I’m going to add parallelism to my program, how should I do it? What should I look for?” A seemingly simple question so let’s see if we can ...

One of the things to avoid when it comes to parallelism is working with raw threads. Abstraction offers a way around the issue, by avoiding the need to deal with low-level details of parallel systems, ...
