Researchers officially christened the Parallel Computing Lab here Monday (Dec. 1) in a newly renovated space at the University of California, Berkeley. The center has been conducting work for several months to define a new parallel programming model for tomorrow’s many-core processors that could replace serial methods that have served mainstream computing since its inception.
“We have the opportunity to reset the software stack for the next 30 years,” said David A. Patterson, veteran Berkeley computer science professor and director of the lab. “I can’t think of another research project that has as much upside or risk,” he added.
