The Bulk Multicore Architecture

Architecture designed to enable a highly programmable environment

The Bulk Multicore Architecture for Improved Programmability, by Josep Torrellas, Luis Ceze, James Tuck, Calin Cascaval, Pablo Montesinos, Wonsun Ahn, and Milos Prvulovic, describes a novel, general-purpose multicore architecture called the "Bulk Multicore" that is designed to enable a highly programmable environment.

In the Bulk Multicore, the programmer and run time system are relieved from managing the sharing of data thanks to novel support for scalable hardware cache coherence. Moreover, to help minimize the chance of parallel programming errors, the Bulk Multicore provides to the software high-performance sequential memory consistency, and also introduces several novel hardware primitives.

    Modernize your Development by Moving Build and Code Quality Upstream
    Moderated by Jon Erickson, Editor-in-Chief of Dr. Dobb's, this interactive panel discussion brings industry experts Anders Wallgren, CTO of Electric Cloud and Gwyn Fisher, CTO of Klocwork together for a candid discussion of the cost savings, productivity and quality benefits that can be achieved by stabilizing builds and code quality as early in the development cycle as possible.

    The reality of today's development environment - geographically distributed teams, the use of Agile development practices, increasing application complexity, etc. - is straining the viability of the traditional coding, build and release process. To stay ahead of the curve, development teams are modernizing their approach to dealing with these issues, and as a result are achieving new levels of development productivity.
