For nearly 10 years, computer processors have been getting faster by using multiple cores rather than raising their individual speeds. This measure makes our PCs and smartphones more power-efficient, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The technology that makes the fastest computers so fast -- parallel processing -- is starting to wend its way from the research community into personal computers, and a Purdue ...

Programming parallel processors isn't easy, especially when the number of processing elements is large. No single technique applies to all situations. But in its Storm-1 architecture, Stream ...

The dream of building self-regulating computer systems using parallel processing was not new in the 1960s when "2001: A Space Odyssey" acquainted millions of us with HAL. Computer makers have been ...

Finnish startup Flow Computing has emerged from stealth mode, having raised €4 million ($4.3m) in pre-seed funding. The round was led by Nordic venture capitalist firm Butterfly Ventures, with ...

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 ...

A new study by a University of Warwick researcher has demonstrated that researchers trying to model a range of processes could use the power and capabilities of a particular XBox chip as a much ...

A novel parallel computing framework for chemical process simulation has been proposed by researchers from the East China University of Science and Technology and the University of Sheffield. This ...

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 ...
