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 ...

A company which feels it can solve one of the key problems of parallel processors – the difficulty of programming them – is Stream Processors, a two year-old spin-out from Stanford University. The ...

Based on a parallel processing architecture, the eXtreme Processor is touted as the industry's most powerful 32-bit processor. Capable of sustainable peak performance in excess of 50 GOPS, the first ...

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 ...

[Editor's note: The Ambric architecture is similar to the architecture of the IntellasysSEAforth processor. For a detailed article explaining the advantages of these architectures, see 21st century ...

Nothing could accentuate the importance of the GPU more than Intel packaging an x86 core with a Radeon GPU while poaching AMD’s GPU guru saying they want him to develop discrete GPUs. So GPU is no ...

BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quadric (quadric.io), an innovator in high-performance edge processing, has introduced a unified silicon and software platform that unlocks the power of on-device ...

Modern processor architectures invariably enable the parallel execution of several operations per clock cycle. Configurable processors such as the Improv Jazz VLIW DSP allow the user to modify and ...

Multi-mode sensor processing – such as that for radar beamforming and for electro- optical (E-O) or infrared (IR) image processing – presents formidable computing problems. It requires extremely ...

A recent report found the Core i7 couldn't match the parallel processing performance of an Nvidia GPU, but Intel says rival took the findings out of context Intel tried to push back at coverage of a ...
