Stencil computations form the backbone of many scientific and engineering simulations by updating each point in a structured grid based on a fixed pattern of neighbouring values. Achieving high ...

As we have heard time and again, one of the greatest challenges for future exascale class computing—the one that falls right under power consumption–is how codes are ever going to evolve to take ...

An optimizing compiler that targets MPSoC environments should tackle a number of critical issues. Building on what was learned in Part 1 and Part 2, we first explain these issues and then study ...

All major OEMs and software suppliers of the automotive industry are committed to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). A close look, though, raises questions on the demands ADAS applications ...

Intel has announced major updates for its C++ and Fortran tools, updates that are aimed at making it easier for programmers to exploit thread-level and data-level parallelism in multicore processors.

In a previous blog post, we discussed the benefits of using automation to maximize the performance of a system. One use case I mentioned was compiler flag mining, and the fact that performance is ...

Redis assumes the default GCC compiler on supported operating system distributions for reasons of portability and ease of use. The build compiler flags, present since the early stages of the project, ...

Today's programmable GPUs are the latest instantiation of programmable accelerators. Going back to the 1970s, the Floating Point Systems AP-120 and FPS-164 attached processors provided mainframe ...
