Intel is taking additional steps to avoid what could be a serious bump in the road to convert the data center to multicore technology.
The fact that software developers are having trouble cranking out new versions of their systems to take advantage of multicore’s parallel processing capabilities hasn’t gone unnoticed. Intel, in fact, was one of the first to sound the alarm that the development community needs to embrace new programming techniques like multi-threading if it hopes to push the envelope that multicore provides.
Now, the company is going one better with a new technology said to deliver the power of parallel processing with the scalability of linear technology. The company has joined forces with Rogue Wave, developer of the C++-based Hydra system that brings “service parallelism” to the new Xeon Server (Dunnington) platform.
