  Code Optimization Techniques for Graphics Processing Units

Books on parallel programming theory often talk about such weird beasts like the PRAM model, a hypothetical hardware that would provide the programmer with a number of processors that is proportional to the input size of the problem at hand. Modern general purpose computers afford only a few processing units; four is currently a reasonable number. This limitation makes the development of highly parallel applications quite difficult to the average computer user. However, the low cost and th...

My advice to anyone who’s interested in startups: Before you ever start a startup, try to make at least ...

Dear Developers, S asked me a difficult question today, and I think the answer (which took me a few minutes to arrive at) is worth sharing with all developers, mainly because many of you will surely face the exact same problem especially in [maintenance and enhancement] projects.

  Chrome is dominating the browser world

Microsoft has announced recently that their Edge browser will abandon its own kernel and switch to use Google Chromium. This by no means indicates that Microsoft admitted it lost the war against Google on browser. For Microsoft, making such a decision is certainly not easy, but it is absolutely a wise decision.
