Parallelism Trends: in the Cloud, Cluster and Client

In this slide presentation with transcription from Intel Tech Days, Microsoft’s Amit Chatterjee discusses recent trends in parallelism.

Current global trends in information explosion and innovative experiences in the digital age require immense computational power. The only answer to this need is leveraging parallelism and the presence of multiple cores in today’s processors. This ’Multi-core shift’ is truly going well on its way. To make this paradigm shift seamless for the developers, Microsoft is providing parallel processing abstractions in its platforms and development tools. These allow developers to take advantage of parallelism—both from managed code as well as native code—and apply them for computation in local clients, clusters clouds and a mix of all the three!
