Accelerated Architectures Create Programming Opportunities.

In the early 2000s, industry switched to multicore microprocessors to address semiconductors’ speed and power limits. However, the change was unsuccessful, leading to dire claims that “Moore’s law is ending.” This column suggests that while the approach was sound, it needed a deeper architectural tr...

      ab: In the early 2000s, industry switched to multicore microprocessors to address semiconductors’ speed and power limits. However, the change was unsuccessful, leading to dire claims that “Moore’s law is ending.” This column suggests that while the approach was sound, it needed a deeper architectural transformation. Industry has since discovered a suitable architecture, but work remains on software to support it.
