Musings on Broadbus and Multicore.

June 2007

I know we've talked about RapidMind before in this space. (Jon Erickson recently interviewed RapidMind's chief scientist, Michael McCool.) But there's a lot more to say. McCool and RapidMind founder Stefanus Du Toit take us on a technical tour through coding an app for multicore processors using RapidMind. The basic premise? Instead of spending your time optimizing your algorithms for multicore, or learning custom languages or environments, let your tools worry about the multithreading.
