For example, an engineer may develop a real-time embedded control system at the same time as its human-machine interface. Maybe the system also has a computation-intensive task such as high-speed ...

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 ...

Stream Processors, Inc. (SPI) recently unveiled its data-parallel processor architecture and announced two chips based on the architecture. According to SPI, its architecture is optimized for ...

Micron’s Automata Processor (AP) uses a unique parallel processing technique that exploits the company’s memory technology (Fig. 1). The parallel processor is similar to an FPGA and a content ...

One particular frustration with the UNIX shell is the inability to easily schedule multiple, concurrent tasks that fully utilize CPU cores presented on modern systems. The example of focus in this ...

Most newer video cards have stream processors built into their graphics processing unit. The GPU may also be built into the motherboard or in the central processing unit itself. Stream processing is a ...

Scientists developed a new architecture and approach, which combines data storage and processing onto a single chip using "photonic" or light-based processors that deals out information much faster ...

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 ...

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 ...

Here’s something fun. Our hacker [Willow Cunningham] has sent us a copy of their homework. This is their final project for the “ECE 574: Cluster Computing” course at the University of Maine, Orono. It ...
