Discuss the challenges of teaching parallel programming in a serial world. Hear about and share your views on the changes coming as technology evolves to more parallel more often.
2011 Game Piracy Observations – Have Consoles Failed the Piracy Litmus Test?

So I’ll let you all draw your own conclusions; but I’ve been mulling over a few articles released earlier this month around the piracy statistics released via TorrentFreak. The first article I read was Tom’s article on Gamasutra titled “Report: Crysis 2 named most-pirated game of 2011”. That article led me to the link he [...]

Only recently has the west coast of the United States, particularly California, especially southern California received the credit it deserves for the long history of abstract and experimental film work that has gone on here. The Iota Center is a non profit organization that among other things preserves, archives and provides information about [...]

Parallel Programming is easier than separating 2 corks

I've known Prof. Tom Murphy for a few years now. Whenever we were at a conference or other event together and had dinner, he invariably would ask the wait staff if they had two corks he could have. If the place served wine, it wasn't too difficult to find two corks that were the same size [...]

Last week, I attended Android Developer Conference ( AnDevConII) at San Francisco, and had chance to get shocked by Google's latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) demoed by two Google senior Engineers Chet Haase and Romain Guy. The title of their keynote is "Android Awesomeness". It is indeed Awesomeness! Chet and Romain somehow figured out using [...]

The Real Platform is now the Cloud - and has shifted away from devices
By Matt Ployhar (Intel) (42 posts) on November 7, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Comments (0)
Am I stating the blatantly obvious here? (Probably). However; one my most recent assertions is that the devices (e.g. Consoles, PCs, Macs, etc) which used to historically be considered a “Platform” are far less so today. The real platform has become the Cloud and the Clouds associated services. As a result.. I’m going to be [...]

This will be my tongue-in-cheek response to a ZDNET blog posting that can be found here: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/forget-the-gaming-pc-buy-a-console/15969#comments While the author brings up a few interesting discussion points; I’m not entirely convinced that it’s a fair assessment and here’s why. 1) Pricing: When the Xbox 360, and PS3 first released their real street price was no [...]

Sisterhood of CS

It might seem a bit ironic me being bursting with pride at being a member of a sisterhood, what with me being a guy who never even had a sister, but I am. The Sisterhood of CS is the fifth Computer Science club for which I am advisor. Perhaps being advisor means I am not [...]

A quick glance at Array Building Blocks
By Dick Brown (4 posts) on October 24, 2011 at 10:17 am
Comments (0)
Attending my first Intel Developer's Forum, I got a chance to attend a session called the "Intel Faces of Parallelism Lab," which featured Cilk+ (convenient threads added to C++), TBB, and the current beta version of Array Building Blocks (ArBB). ArBB is a C++ library geared towards data parallelism in the same sense that TBB [...]
