The Parallel Computing Platform team’s David Callahan (Distinguished Engineer) and Keith Yedlin (Product Unit Manager) sit down with me to discuss Microsoft’s vision for general purpose Parallel Computing. Keith demos the power of the Microsoft Parallel Computing Platform on a 26 processor machine. Even cooler than the substantial performance improvements is the small change to a for loop (adding .NET Extensions’ new Parallel.For) that results in incredible performance gains. See for yourself.
Of course, this is Channel 9 (and I am without Marketing bones...) so we talk about a lot of things related to concurrency and parallel computing. Do we have all the answers? Of course not. Are we making significant strides in our quest to bring more super computing capability to the general purpose software developer. David is a seasoned veteran in the parallel computing space (he was an engineer at Cray...) and he owns t...

Description: ParCo2007 marks a quarter of a century of the international conferences on parallel computing that started in Berlin in 1983. The aim of the conference is to give an overview of the state-of-the-art of the developments, applications and future trends in high performance computing for all platforms. The conference addresses all aspects (more…)

As you know, a recent important hardware improvement are multicore CPU’s. As opposed to just faster CPU’s, applications will not be able to take advantage of that additional hardware power in a transparent way. So we no longer have the free lunch of a doubling in performance every year and a half that we used to have for free, basically. What that means to us as software professionals is that the burden has shifted to us. We have to do more work now in order to exploit the latest perfor... more
