PROCESSOR INNOVATION BRINGS PERFORMANCE BOOST

摘要

As such, Kohn's big-picture thoughts on multicore-CPU-programming challenges derive from nearly three decades' worth of experience in the area. "Software developers have dealt successfully with using parallel processing in the server-computer space for some time," he explains. "Major data-center applications, such as Web services, application servers, and database servers, are designed for multiprocessor scalability using both loosely and tightly coupled processors. The key to this type of scalability is that there are a large number of concurrent clients that can be serviced in parallel, and the software architecture ... [removes] dependencies between transactions."
