For our computer science-minded members and others similarly inclined, there is an interesting article in this month's Communications of the ACM. In it, Adobe Photoshop's principal scientist Russell Williams and Intel chip architect Clem Cole discuss some of the finer points of multi-threading and parallel computation, in the dual contexts of a mass-market consumer application and a mass-market chipset. It is striking just how sophisticated an application Photoshop really is from a software architecture point of view -- for what, about $700? Google "photoshop scalability" to reach the article.
