Free Vendor e-Book: How to Survive the Multicore Revolution (or at Least Survive the Hype)
An irreversible shift towards multicore x86 processors is underway.
Building multicore processors delivers on the promise of Moore's Law, but it creates an enormous problem for developers.
Multicore processors are parallel computers, and parallel computers are notoriously difficult to program.
Therefore, to deliver competitive application performance on these new processors, many applications must be written - or rewritten - as parallel...

Intel Threading Building Blocks: Outfitting C++ for Multi-core Processor Parallelism
Multi-core chips from Intel and AMD offer a dramatic boost in speed and responsiveness, and plenty of opportunities for multiprocessing on ordinary desktop computers.
But they also present a challenge: More than ever, multithreading is a requirement for good performance.
This guide explains how to maximize the benefits of these processors through a portable C++ library that works on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Unix systems.
With it,...
