TECHNICAL ARTICLE:
This article aims at answering the question, "Is parallel programming hard?" You'll take a look at the distinctions between parallel and sequential programming as well as the three main problems programmers face when it comes to parallel programming.
WHITE PAPER:
Read this paper to learn how combining a high performance batch programming and execution model with a high performance analytical database provides significant business benefits for a number of different types of applications.
WHITE PAPER:
This article gets dangerously close to real artificial intelligence (AI). All intelligent agents need to have a basic ability to perceive their environment and some means of navigating and moving within the world around them-be it real or otherwise. Read on to learn more about AI.

WHITE PAPER:
Read this white paper for an examination of a new software development language and technology called SequenceL, as well as a description of how it works, why there is a need for it and how well it performs in parallel environments.
TECHNICAL ARTICLE:
In this 3rd part of the Designing Artificial Intelligence for Games series, you'll learn how to give your agents higher orders of intelligence. The agents can already deal with the immediate situation they find themselves in; now you are working toward artificial intelligence (AI) that deals with broader goals and the bigger picture.
