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 ...

Micron’s Automata Processor (AP) uses a unique parallel processing technique that exploits the company’s memory technology (Fig. 1). The parallel processor is similar to an FPGA and a content ...

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 ...

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 ...

The company claims its parallel processing ideas can double performance overnight. The company claims its parallel processing ideas can double performance overnight. is a senior editor and founding ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

One particular frustration with the UNIX shell is the inability to easily schedule multiple, concurrent tasks that fully utilize CPU cores presented on modern systems. The example of focus in this ...
