Choice Overload In Parallel Programming http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/07/10/03/0021253.shtml from above: "And then we show them the parallel programming environments they can work with: MPI, OpenMP, Ct, HPF, TBB, Erlang, Shmemm, Portals, ZPL, BSP, CHARM++, Cilk, Co-array Fortran, PVM, Pthreads, windows threads, Tstreams, GA, Java, UPC, Titanium, Parlog, NESL,Split-C... and the list goes on and on. If we aren't careful, the result could very well be a 'choice overload' experience with software vendors running away in frustration." ... snip .. and ... Embedded software stuck at C http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=202102427 from above: "The inability of C/C++ code to parallelize coupled with its ubiquity throughout the embedded market is a major issue for multi-core going forward," Heikkila wrote in a follow up email to EE Times. "Any alternative parallel programming languages certainly won't materialize in the embedded market, but instead will more likely gain momentum in a more mainstream computing market before making its way into embedded applications," he added. ... snip ... past posts in thread: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007l.html#24 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007l.html#26 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007l.html#34 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007l.html#38 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007l.html#60 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007l.html#63 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#5 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#13 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#14 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#19 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#22 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#26 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#29 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#37 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#39 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#49 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#51 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#52 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#53 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#54 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#58 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#59 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#61 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007m.html#70 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007n.html#1 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007n.html#3 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007n.html#6 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007n.html#25 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007n.html#28 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007n.html#38 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007n.html#39 Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
