SAN JOSE, Calif. — James Truchard thinks he may have one of the keys to the multicore era. The chief executive of National Instruments believes the company's flagship LabView environment offers many ...

As hardware designers turn toward multicore processors to improve computing power, software programmers must find new programming strategies that harness the power of parallel computing. One technique ...

I can remember learning to program in C and how hard it was to keep track of the big picture while coding in the weeds. Not to mention how arcane relay ladder logic is. I’ve been fascinated by LabView ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

I looked at LabView more than a decade ago, and was very impressed, but I put it aside as test and measurement (T&M) was not at the top of my list of things to do. In the meantime, LabView has become ...
