IntelĀ® Extended Memory 64 Technology (IntelĀ® EM64T) is a 64-bit extension to Intelās IA-32 architecture. Data can be accessed in 64-bit chunks, and large memory is addressable without special OS calls. This white paper introduces the architecture extensions and discusses performance tradeoffs when porting software from 32-bit to 64-bit. more>
Microprocessor performance has scaled over the last three decades from devices that could perform tens of thousands of instructions per second to tens of billions of instructions per second in todayās products. Our processors have evolved from super-scalar architecture to instruction-level parallelism, where each evolution makes more efficient use of fast single instruction pipeline. more>

Java Whitepapers
Java Programming Exercises | Free Java Tutorial: Java threads provide a vital performance boost to nearly all applications. These threads are becoming a standard part of Java programming as the benefit of threaded apps in Java becomes even more evident. more>
Explicit threading methods, such as Windows* threads or POSIX* threads, use library calls to create, manage, and synchronize threads. Use of explicit threads requires an almost complete restructuring of affected code. On the other hand, OpenMP* is a set of pragmas, API functions, and environment variables that enable you to incorporate threads into your applications at a relatively high level. The OpenMP pragmas are used to denote regions in the code that can be run concurrently. more>
The technology of computer gaming is undergoing a major conceptual shift: a shift to multi-threaded engines running on multi-core processors. Multi-core processors are powering the next generation of PCs and gaming consoles, and game developers want to target as many of these platforms as possible. Unfortunately, threaded execution and cross-platform support are non-trivial, and many developers find it difficult to get these features into their own code. more>
