Parallelism used to be the domain of supercomputers working on weather simulations or plutonium decay. It is now part of the architecture of most SoCs. But just how efficient, effective and widespread ...
When looking for the best, it is often useful to examine the new or unusual to see if it will change the way designers create new applications. Pattern recognition is a common requirement for many ...
Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is ...
SEMICONDUCTOR firms make integrated circuits with critical dimensions that are shrinking in leaps and bounds. With chip sizes down to 130 nanometres (1nm is a billionth of a metre) and heading fast ...
When developing or modifying an application to run in a heterogeneous environment that consists of a main CPU (Intel Xeon) and a coprocessor (Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor), it is important to tune for ...
AUSTIN, Texas — With an $11 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and collaborative support from IBM Corp.'s Austin Research Lab, a team of computer architects at the ...
Micron’s Automata Processor performs regular expression matching using a parallel array of state transition elements. The ANML compiler and development tools are now available. Tools for developing ...
Microfluidic approaches to DNA purification have been previously demonstrated, and the earliest results involved affinity capture and elution of purified DNA using a silicon microstructure fabricated ...
