Intel co-founder Gordon Moore famously wrote about how the number of transistors on silicon chips would double roughly every two years—an observation now known as Moore’s Law. But even as Intel pushes ...

The 14th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP 2009) and the 15th International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA-15) opened Monday in ...

The authors of my Editor’s Top Picks for this week – Atego’s Kelvin Nilsen and Adacore’s S. Tucker Taft – believe that despite all the tools that allow embedded systems developers to maintain ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

Writing correct concurrent programs is harder than writing sequential ones. This is because the set of potential risks and failure modes is larger - anything that can go wrong in a sequential program ...

We develop a sequential sampling procedure for a class of stochastic programs. We assume that a sequence of feasible solutions with an optimal limit point is given as input to our procedure. Such a ...

One simple method by which a manager can maintain a group of deteriorating activities at a high performance level is to inspect them in a fixed rotating sequence and immediately correct an activity ...
