IDF Shanghai | So you think parallel programming is a drag, huh? "Let us recompile your app to take advantage of all those cores", says Intel. Plus heaps of other juicy new stuff.
Intel admits programming in parallel is still very, very hard for most programmers.
An Intel spokesman presenting on the topic said that although today’s computers operate in the gigascale range – “Gigahertz frequency, Gigabit transmission speeds, Gigabyte storage capacity”, we will soon be in a “Terascale” era, where everything is 1,000 times that – including the core count.
