What's the status of Multicore programming in Haskell?
Bzip2 too slow. Multicore or alternatives.
Multicore architecture places multiple processor cores
and bundles them as a single physical processor.
Some applications like video processing are suited for Multicore processors and specialized accelerators, Gwennap said.
Multicore refers to an architecture in which a single physical processor
incorporates the core logic of more than one processor.
A computer or laptop- With Window 7 or later, > 2Gb of RAM(4Gb Reccomended),
1.5Ghz Processor or higher(Multicore Core 2Ghz processor Recommended).
This technology is most commonly used in Multicore processors, where two
or more processor chips or cores run concurrently as a single system.
Without write buffers, the hardware is
SC, but with write buffers, it is not, making write buffers architecturally visible in a Multicore processor.
A single CPU does not have this capability, although Multicore processors can perform calculations in parallel by combining more
than one CPU onto the same chip.
