Java programmers are served with numerous choices of collections, varying from simple
sequential ordered lists to sophisticated hashtable implementations. These choices are well …

High-level-synthesis (HLS) tools generate accelerators from software programs to ease the
task of building hardware. Unfortunately, current HLS tools have limited support for …

Despite their language-integrated design, Java exceptions can be difficult to use effectively.
Although Java exceptions are syntactically straightforward, negligent practices often result in …

Lambda expressions have long been state-of-the-art in the functional programming
paradigm. Especially with regard to the use of higher-order functions, they provide …

ForkJoin framework is a widely used parallel programming framework upon which both core
concurrency libraries and real-world applications are built. Beneath its simple and user …

Due to non-deterministic behavior and thread interleaving of concurrent programs, the
debugging of concurrency and performance issues is a rather difficult and often tedious task …

High-throughput microarrays contain a huge number of genes. Determining the
relationships between all these genes is a time-consuming computation. In this paper, the …

Fork/join applications are divide-and-conquer algorithms recursively forking tasks that are
executed in parallel, waiting for them to complete, and then typically joining their results. An …

Designed for introductory parallel computing courses at the advanced undergraduate or
beginning graduate level, Elements of Parallel Computing presents the fundamental …

Data mining tools may be computationally demanding, which leads to an increasing interest
on parallel computing strategies in order to improve their performance. While multi-core …
