Gilda Garretón, a Java Developer and Parallelism Computing Researcher
- by Yolande
In a new interview titled “Gilda Garretón, a Java Developer and
Parallelism Computing Research,” Garretón shares her first-hand experience developing
with Java and Java 7 for very large-scale
integration (VLSI) of computer-aided design (CAD).
Garretón gives an insightful overview
of how Java is contributing to the parallelism development and to
the Electric VLSI Design Systems, an open source VLSI CAD application used as a
research platform for new CAD algorithms as well as the research flow for
hardware test chips.
Garretón considers that parallelism programming is hard and complex, yet
important developments are taking place. "With the addition of the
concurrent package in Java SE 6 and the Fork/Join feature in Java SE 7,
developers have a chance to rely more on existing frameworks and dedicate more
time to the essence of their parallel algorithms."
