Nine predictions for 2014 that prove the programming landscape is changingVector Fabrics Blog - Klaas van GendJan. 13, 2014 |
It is not hard to predict that this year will see a lot of activity around multicores and manycores. 2014 will be the year that software has to catch up with highly concurrent hardware.
We predict some major changes in how people view multicore programming:
- Neither Intel, AMD nor Qualcomm releases any new single core processors in 2014. Therefore, it is less and less acceptable to release pure sequentially operating applications.
- Intel releases a 15-core Xeon. On a typical 4-socket motherboard your OS sees 120 available cores. OpenMP is the preferred programming paradigm on such a platform for data-intensive shared-memory calculations. You have to deal with performance bottlenecks, including Amdahl's law, cache performances and memory bandwidth issues.
