History of Parallel Computing and the Advantage of Multi-core Systems
We will be looking into the history and evolution in parallel computing by focusing on three distinct timelines:
1) The earliest developments of multi-core systems and how it gave rise to the realization of parallel programming
2) How chip makers marketed this new frontier in computing, specifically towards enterprise businesses being the primary target audience
3) How quickly it gained traction and when the two semiconductor giants Intel and AMD decided to introduce multi-core processors to domestic users, thus making parallel computing more widely available
From each of these timelines, we will be inspecting certain key events and how they impacted other events in their progression. This will help us understand how parallel computing came into fruition, its role and impact in many industries today, and what the future may hold going forward.
