As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential programming languages are forced to deal with representing parallelism ...

The origin of CUDA. In 2003, a team of researchers led by Ian Buck unveiled Brook, the first widely adopted programming model to extend C with data-parallel constructs.

The Rust compiler front end can now use fine-grained parallelism to significantly reduce compile times. Currently experimental, the parallel front end is due in a stable compiler in 2024.
