An international team of scientists led by researchers at the Peking University in China has designed a revolutionary ‘all-optical’ chip that uses light to synchronize the speed of processors ...

Parallel processing, an integral element of modern computing, allows for more efficiency in a wide range of applications. Here’s what you need to know.

Micron has produced an accelerator capable of performing high-speed, comprehensive search and analysis of complex, unstructured data streams. Micron calls it the Automata Processor (AP). It leverages ...

For decades, parallel computing–the tricky job of dividing programming tasks among a number of processors–has been the province of academics who write programs for supercomputers.

The mathematics of Amdahl’s law assume there is a limit to parallel speed-up, assuming some things are constant, such as the problem size and the nature of the processors doing the computation.

Science – Parallel programming of an ionic floating-gate memory array for scalable neuromorphic computing Abstract Neuromorphic computers could overcome efficiency bottlenecks inherent to conventional ...

Attempting to determine the actual speed a processor is running at (rather than the maximum set clock speed) under Mac OS X 10.2.x can be a somewhat difficult task.

The higher the GHz of the processor, the greater its computing capabilities and scientists have now managed to clock 100 GHz on this all-optic processor.
