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 ...

In the early 1980s, when I was teaching and doing research at Yale’s computer science department and School of Management, my colleagues and I dreamed about the great promises of artificial ...

Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is ...

Micron is challenging conventional computer architectures conceived decades ago with Automata, a highly parallel processor that can change its behavior to process the task at hand. The Automata ...

A recent report found the Core i7 couldn't match the parallel processing performance of an Nvidia GPU, but Intel says rival took the findings out of context Intel tried to push back at coverage of a ...

(1) A computer architecture that performs more than one operation at the same time. See multicore, multithreading, GPGPU, pipeline processing and vector processor. (2) Using multiple computers. See ...
