A good article at Java World outlines the deisgn principles of building cloud ready multicore applications.
“For your applications to meet the demands of computing in a cloud-based, multicore world, you’ll need to design your code with the following attributes in mind:
- Atomicity
- Statelessness
- Idempotence
- Parallelism
In this article, the first of two parts, I’ll discuss each [...]

Jeff Atwood has written a very detailed post on comparing 7zip and bzip2 to compress files, with the underlying hardware being dual quad-core 2.5 GHz Xeon E5420 CPUs. Well worth checking out if we you deal with file compression on your Grid or Network.

Nice article from Amis Technology in the Netherlands entitled “Asynchronous processing in Java applications - leveraging those multi-cores”. Synopsis below:
“Processors are not going to get much faster. No higher clockspeeds are foreseen. The speed of processing will be further increasing through parallellization, engaging multiple CPU cores for handling all tasks rather than a single faster [...]

The Illinois Institute of technology recently published a paper (nov 2008) that looks at how Amdahl’s law applies to multicore processors.It is essentially a rebuffal of the pessimistic view that Hill and Marty presented in their paper on multicore scalability using Amdahl’s law. Their models show that “there is no inherent, immovable upper bound on [...]
