In the last few years a number of start-up companies have announced massively parallel processors for embedded DSP applications. With their arrays of processing elements, these processors target ...

For example, an engineer may develop a real-time embedded control system at the same time as its human-machine interface. Maybe the system also has a computation-intensive task such as high-speed ...

Scientists developed a new architecture and approach, which combines data storage and processing onto a single chip using "photonic" or light-based processors that deals out information much faster ...

Stream Processors, Inc. (SPI) recently unveiled its data-parallel processor architecture and announced two chips based on the architecture. According to SPI, its architecture is optimized for ...

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 ...

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 ...

Modern processor architectures invariably enable the parallel execution of several operations per clock cycle. Configurable processors such as the Improv Jazz VLIW DSP allow the user to modify and ...

Nothing could accentuate the importance of the GPU more than Intel packaging an x86 core with a Radeon GPU while poaching AMD’s GPU guru saying they want him to develop discrete GPUs. So GPU is no ...

When Anwar Ghuloum came to work at Intel in 2002, the company was supreme among chip makers, mainly because it was delivering processors that ran at higher and higher speeds. “We were already at three ...
