Intel’s James Reinders is an expert on parallelism; his most recent book covered the C++ extensions for parallelism provided by Intel Threaded Building Blocks. He’s also the Director of Marketing and Business for the company’s Software Development Products. In Part 1 of our discussion at the Intel Developers Forum in September we talked about how to think about performance in a parallel programming environment, why such environments give developers headaches, and what can be done about it.
Here, in Part 2, we move on to cloud computing, functional and dynamic languages, and what needs to happen with computer science education. Few wide-ranging conversations these days would be complete without at least a nod to cloud computing which Reinders views as very much connected to the matter of parallel programming. ”
