Chip makes parallel programs run faster with less code

New chip design makes parallel programs run many times faster and requires one-tenth the code

In simulations, the researchers compared Swarm versions of six common algorithms with the best existing parallel versions, which had been individually engineered by seasoned software developers. The Swarm versions were between three and 18 times as fast, but they generally required only one-tenth as much code -- or even less. And in one case, Swarm achieved a 75-fold speedup on a program that computer scientists had so far failed to parallelize.

Nice. Hope to see more soon. Also, China has a new 10,000,000 core supercomputer.
