your methods and ideas on threading everything from games to financial
services apps. Remember, multiple cores are better than one!
Imagine the latest
edition of a fairly basic textbook discussing the
fundamentals of a discipline, perhaps not Computer Science, but some
related subject. There is probably a chapter on automation with a nice
basic block diagram of a computer, which looks like it hasn’t been
updated since the 1980s. It depicts the system as composed [...]

My first shot at
showing how grown up I've become by running the
show all by myself and I get sideswiped by the US Congress. Daylight
Savings Time started on 08 MAR in America as federally mandated.

Today was my first solo
hosting of the Parallel Programming Talk
show. Take a listen and let me know what you thought. Not as funny as
most but I hope that it was just as jam packed with as much news and
information for the Parallel Programming Developer Community.
Download the show.
The show was our first [...]

Multithreading is hard.
Implementation of synchronization primitives
is even harder. And most advanced synchronization primitives which
exploit relaxed memory models are brain damaging. So don't rely on
memory barriers for synchronization. Now you will think "Ah, you are
one of those folks, who constantly saying to us - don't do this, don't
do that, it's [...]
