The Parallel Motifs, or Parallel Dwarfs as they are sometimes called, are a collection of algorithm families that are important to parallel computing as they are known to be compute bound. More computational cycles – if applied judiciously – will result...

I am currently the Program Manager for parallel correctness tools in the Parallel Computing Platform team at Microsoft. My interests span formal verification and HPC. Before working at Microsoft, I was a researcher in validation in the Corporate Technology...

About three weeks ago, Ryan wrote about his “Tracewriter” application which spells out text in the threads view of the Concurrency Visualizer: Now, the source code is available for download on Code Gallery.  Enjoy! James Rapp - Parallel Computing...

For those of you who haven’t seen it, the Parallel Computing developer center is a comprehensive source of lessons, highlights, and resources for developers interested in parallelism.  It has now been remodeled with a much fresher, organized look...

It is often necessary to divide many real-world applications into multiple distinct phases.  As a result, the search for performance problems can often be constrained to a particular phase of an application's execution.  One of the most effective...

Our “Rogues Gallery” is a collection of common, visual patterns exhibiting poorly-behaved multithreaded applications. In this post, I’ll introduce a new pattern: too much pressure on the garbage collector (GC). When an application...

One of the most important things to pay attention to when tuning a multithreaded application is its performance pattern.  There is a set of common poor performance patterns that most developers of multithreaded applications will encounter. ...
