Jonathan EricksonDr. Dobb’s Journal, Editor-in-chief |
 |
| Jonathan Erickson has been Dr. Dobb's Journal's editor-in-chief since 1988. Before joining Dr. Dobb's, Jonathan was a senior editor for BYTE and senior editor for Osborne McGraw-Hill books. He is the author of ten books, ranging from graphics programming to organic gardening. Abstract Thanks to multi-core processors, computing is rapidly and irreversibly moving to parallelization,. That's the good news. The bad news is that parallel computers are really hard to program. Concurrency is hard, expensive, time-consuming, and error prone, and it requires new tools and techniques to be successful. But there's no question that software developers must make this transition. Otherwise, programmers and the programs they write will be left in the dust and the world of parallel computing passes them by. |
