James Reinders: Parallelism Has Crossed a Threshold

Is the parallel everything era here? What happens when you can assume parallel cores? In the second half of our in-depth interview, Intel’s James Reinders discusses the fading out of single-core machines and the ramifications of the democratization of parallel computing, remarking “we don’t need to worry about single-core processors anymore and that’s pretty significant in the world of programming for this next decade.” Other topics covered include the intentions behind OpenHPC and trends to watch in 2016.

    Great, single-core microcontrollers, just what you need for your Internet of Things devices. You own IoT devices right?

    Quad+ core processors can be found in desktops, the Raspberry Pi, many smartphones, and supercomputers. So yes, parallelism is important.
