In the past, the CPU was the undisputed center of computing. But today, the GPU has taken that crown—not by replacing the CPU entirely, but by surpassing it in relevance, performance, and versatility ...

Scientists developed a "photonic" or light-based processors that combines data storage and processing onto a single chip and processed for faster computing than conventional electronic chips.

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 ...

Parallel processing is an approach that allows the computer to perform many different tasks simultaneously, a sharp contrast to the serial approach employed by conventional desktop computers.

The Pilot single-axis motion processor family is now available in a parallel interface version. Communicating with the host processor via a bi-directional, 16-bit parallel data port, the new ...

Nvidia is the market leader in AI chips thanks to its Hopper and Blackwell GPUs. Intel is fighting to maintain its advantage ...

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 laboratory is shrinking. Scientists and engineers are borrowing miniaturization, integration, and parallel-processing techniques from the computer industry to develop laboratory devices and ...

Intel tried to push back at coverage of a recently published paper that found its Core i7 processors couldn’t match the parallel processing performance of an Nvidia GPU, saying its rival took ...

Introduction 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 ...

The number of vendors offering massively parallel processors for digital signal processing is growing. As independent technology analysis company BDTI ...
