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 ...

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 ...

The processor's SIMD portion enables one instruction to be simultaneously executed by a number (two, four, eight, or 16) of DSP processors called parallel datapath units. The CW4011 implementation ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the ever-expanding realm of data processing and analytics, two heavyweight contenders − massively parallel processing (MPP) and big data − have been vying for dominance. Each brings its own set of ...

For as long as records have been made, producers have looked for creative ways to make their tracks sound as good as they possibly can. Drum parts might be reinforced with samples to provide more ...

Until the early 2000s, the computer processors available on the market were essentially all single-core chips. There were some niche layouts that used multiple processors on the same board for ...
