Modern computing has many foundational building blocks, including central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs) and data processing units (DPUs). However, what almost all modern ...

This is the third in a four-part series about the Intel® Scalable System Framework. Other contributions cover Intel® Omni-Path Architecture fabric, HPC software and the OpenHPC community, and Intel® ...

Quentin Stout and Christiane Jablonowski from the University of Michigan gave a nice introduction to parallel computing on Sunday. They covered everything from architecture to APIs to the politics of ...

To reflect exactly how fast a quantum computer can carry out a program, IBM is launching a new quantum speed metric, in a move that is likely to add a dose of competitiveness across an industry that ...

CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by NVIDIA for general computing on its own GPUs (graphics processing units). CUDA enables developers to speed up compute ...

When we talk about making computing faster, we typically think about new CPUs and maybe new graphics processors. These are very important, but processor speed is far from the only determinant of ...

Flow Computing is emerging from stealth with a funding round of $4.3 million and a goal of boosting CPU performance 100X.

As Ebay wisely notes in its buying guide, "the CPU will limit how fast anything can occur in the system." That's an important fact to remember when choosing a processor for your computer. Although ...
