Parallel computing can be easy if you don't care about DRAM bandwidth

I like the quote “Parallel programming can be easy if you don’t care about performance.” What makes it hard is when we want performance in the face of limited memory bandwidth. This is quite true in dense matrix linear...

Three challenges in parallel programming

As we seek to develop parallel applications, we must understand that such development presents at least three major challenges. I argue that all these challenges are equally present whether one programs a many-core GPU, an MIC, or a...
