If you look at the Microsoft's Tech-Ed web page you'll find out that there's a lot of things which are parallel. For instance all the different tech session run in parallel so that as much as possible topics can be covered during Tech-Ed. But also the huge showcase is somehow parallel: there are many companies [...]

Use of rand() in OpenMP parallel sections

By Andrey Karpov (7 posts) on November 5, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Comments (2)

The error consists in the fact that every parallel thread has its own seed and if no special initialization is carried out, rand() function will return the same value in all the threads. Most likely, this will not be the required result.

OpenMP and exceptions

By Andrey Karpov (7 posts) on November 5, 2009 at 2:57 pm

When porting software one of the task a developer faces is to change types' sizes and rules of their alignments. Not so long ago we provided support of the diagnosing rule allowing you to detect data structures which use memory on 64-bit inefficiently in Viva64 analyzer. But there is still some research work to be [...]

Five role playing exercises to introduce parallelism concepts

By Robert Chesebrough (Intel) (8 posts) on November 5, 2009 at 11:12 am
Comments (2)

Since the kickoff of the High School Parallelism bootcamp this summer, I've received several requests for a write up of the five role playing activities we used. The activities put students in the place of procesor cores and had them perform tasks in parallel. These activities proved to be popular among many of the [...]
