In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, a DNA-based computer that performs effectively has been created by ...

About 20 years ago engineers around the world began demonstrating what is still the greatest computer innovation of my lifetime, parallel processing. (For more on the concept, visit this course at ...

The challenge now is to make it possible—and cheap—for ordinary programmers to write programs that run in parallel. Mundie predicts big things when (he doesn't say if) Microsoft works it all out.

Chemical process simulations are crucial for optimizing industrial operations, but they often require significant ...

Flow Computing is a pioneer in licensing on-die ultra-high-performance parallel computing solutions to CPU vendors of all architectures. And today the company is emerging from stealth with a ...

Flow also eliminates the need for expensive GPU acceleration of CPU instructions in performant applications. Flow’s groundbreaking new architecture, referred to as a Parallel Processing Unit (PPU), ...

Swarm, a new chip architecture developed at MIT, automates critical aspects of parallel processing to speed up multi-core CPUs by up to 75 times, while requiring programmers to write a fraction of ...

The Massively Parallel Processor represented one of several approaches to the problem of processing data in parallel. Nearly all modern supercomputers use parallel processing, although not all follow ...

One intended use for such a computer was the analysis of large amounts of data from remote sensing satellites. The Massively Parallel Processor represented one of several approaches to the problem of ...
