Nanoscale lithographic technologies have been intensively studied for the development of the next generation of semiconductor manufacturing practices. While mask-less/direct-write electron beam (EB) ...

The current standard methodology in forensic DNA typing relies on amplification of short tandem repeat (STR) markers by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allele sizes (i.e., length-based) ...

The human brain is often described as a massively parallel computing machine. That raises an interesting question: just how parallel is it? Today, we get an answer thanks to the work of Harris ...

The age of chips connected via beams of light is upon us, according to Charles Wuischpard, chief executive of Silicon Valley startup Ayar Labs, which has received $35 million in new funding, bringing ...

A hands-on introduction to parallel programming and optimizations for 1000+ core GPU processors, their architecture, the CUDA programming model, and performance analysis. Students implement various ...

Even though dual, quad, and octo-core CPUs have been around for a while, it’s a far cry from truly massive parallel computing platforms. The chip manufacturer Adapteva is looking to put dozens of CPUs ...

In the ever-expanding realm of data processing and analytics, two heavyweight contenders − massively parallel processing (MPP) and big data − have been vying for dominance. Each brings its own set of ...

Keysight Technologies has introduced a massively parallel board test system, the i7090, aimed at the testing of consumer electronics, IoT devices, consumer medical and automotive products. Performing ...

I just finished reading the new book by David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu called Programming Massively Parallel Processors. The generic title notwithstanding, readers should not come to this book expecting ...
