Parallel Programming Is Here To Stay.

The article reports on the developments in computer programming industry in the U.S. It notes that OpenMP portable supports multiplatform, shared-memory parallel programming and targets Symmetrical-multiprocessing (SMP) systems. It states that parallel programming platforms target general-purpose processing architectures, however, the multicore graphics processing units (GPUs) found in most high-performance 3D video adapters are also available. Moreover, it notes that parallel programming on SMP architectures deals with virtual memory, pointers and multithreading facilities that have been commonly used for decades using languages like C, C++, and Java.
