Pedagogical examples of parallelism
There are many competing high-level solutions for parallel programming. For example, Cilk-style wait-free work-stealing task deques. The pedagogical example for this style of parallelism might be a parallel quicksort where subsorts are performed in parallel on different parts of the array. What other high-level... 25 Dec 2009 10:23

Solutions for handling graphs - help?
Hi, I've been out of proper programming for a while (ended up doing mostly database design work) and am attempting to put together a system to model some complex networks (in fact, relationships between some business entities). I need to find the best way to model these networks which are essentially hundr... 13 Nov 2009 23:14

Unfortunately, the articles below are programming language heavy. Apparently, Pratt-parsers are recursive descent parsers modified by top down operator pr... 7 Nov 2009 03:53
