Modern computing has many foundational building blocks, including central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs) and data processing units (DPUs). However, what almost all modern ...

Existing processors in PCs, smartphones and other devices can be supercharged for enormous power and efficiency gains using a new parallel processing software framework designed to eliminate ...

Scientists introduce what they call 'simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading' or SHMT. This system doubles computer processing speeds with existing hardware by simultaneously using graphics ...

Few technologies have a more interesting history than parallel computing, in which multiple processors in a single system combine to tackle a problem. A chronicle of events in parallel computing says ...

Targeting the digital-signal processing that the 3G (third-generation) cellular-communications infrastructure will require, picoChip Designs has developed a base-station platform that is based on a ...

RISC-V is an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that rapidly transforms the CPU design and development landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs, RISC-V allows free access to architecture ...
