A study by a University of Warwick researcher has found that the processor in the XBox games console could provide a much cheaper way of performing parallel processing. Dr Simon Scarle, from the ...

As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, so does its appetite for speed and energy. The quest for faster, smarter ...

According to researchers from MIT, code written explicitly to take advantage of parallel computing usually loses the benefit of a compiler’s optimisation strategies. The reason, they say, is because ...

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 ...

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 Oy today revealed seemingly outlandish plans to transform the chip industry with a new Parallel Processing Unit that it says can boost the performance of any central ...

Vision systems are rapidly becoming ubiquitous, driven by big improvements in image sensors as well as new types of sensors. While the sensor itself often is developed using mature-node silicon, ...

Have you ever studied hard for a test the night before, only to fail miserably the next day? Alternatively, you may have felt ill-prepared after studying the night before when, to your astonishment, ...
