Subtract software costs by adding CPUs
|
2005-05-01 |
| The best way to get a project done on time is to break it into smaller, more manageable chunks. That theory works better than some programmers suspect, extending even into multi-processing systems. Jack Ganssle shows how breaking one big program into smaller programs that each run on their own processor can work wonders on performance, schedules, and sanity. |
