Stanford University announced this week it is working with the biggest names in computer chips to launch a research lab designed to make parallel programming accessible to the average programmer. Advanced Micro Devices, IBM, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Nvidia, and Sun Microsystems have all signed up to participate in the Stanford Pervasive Parallelism Lab. The lab, which officially opens May 2, is a combination of Stanford researchers and chip companies — all of which are experts in applications, languages, systems software, and computer architecture.
