Do we really need 'Transactional memory'?
one and zero
Transactional memory seems to gain more momentum these days. But what is behind this terminology? Let me try to explain this in my humble and simple words. Basically for me ' Transactional Memory ' is an atomic access that is non-blocking and coherency is checked at store time. Typically...

Does Amdahl’s law really help?
one and zero
One of the first topics you stumble over when discussing multicore and performance is Amdahl's law . This law is often used in parallel computing to calculate the theoretical maximum multicore performance. For example, if your code is serial to 50% and can be executed in parallel for the other half...
