Learn about the options for developing software that leverages the promised advantages of multicore processors, including the inherent benefits of a graphical dataflow-oriented language. Developing software for multicore processors has proven to be very difficult. Executing operations in parallel is the only way to achieve the performance scaling that Moore’s law delivers with each new chip generation. Unfortunately, that is not the way engineers have been trained to think and solve problems. Worse, many software development APIs and tools that focus on the problems associated with parallelism have been promised but have been slow to evolve. Hear tips on how to avoid the pitfalls in the development of a multicore program and learn about mechanisms in LabVIEW that simplify the identification and implementation of parallelism within a program.
