Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the use of multicore devices in the PC market, writes Paul Tingey of Wind River. This trend is now being replicated in the device software environment with dual-core and many-core devices being released by a wide range of silicon vendors.
While these multicore devices clear the way for increased performance, this can only be achieved if software developers adapt the way they write code so that it fully uses the newly realised hardware resources they have available. Here is an outline of the multicore programming "problem" and list five top tips for software developers to prepare themselves for the new "parallel landscape" in front of them.
Here are the 5 tips:
