An Introduction to Parallel Computing
Aug 28, 2020
The Case for Going Parallel Ever since the first computer was invented, humans here wanted to increase the speed of these machines. And whenever we speak on performance of computers, we need to talk about the Moore's Law1. It basically states that the number of transistors we are able to fit on a chip will double roughly every 24 months. Theoretically, this implies that the speed will also double2. At the beginning, about the whole task of increasing performance of computers was left for hardware developers–software developers stayed clear of it for the most part.…
