From the beginning of digital computing until the turn of the millennium, we expected and received faster computer systems almost every year, due largely to semiconductor technology improvements. For the past 12 years, processor clock rates have not improved. This means that parallelism, in some form, is the only avenue for higher performance.
Parallel computing is not a new topic. For over 50 years, parallelism in computer designs has been exploited in one form or another. Pipelined processors with multiple independent ...
