The challenge now is to make it possible—and cheap—for ordinary programmers to write programs that run in parallel. Mundie predicts big things when (he doesn't say if) Microsoft works it all out.

Modern computing has many foundational building blocks, including central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs) and data processing units (DPUs). However, what almost all modern ...

For parallel processing to work central control must be light. This is almost never the case in a proprietary company, which has to serve a schedule, grow earnings on a regular basis, and manage ...

One intended use for such a computer was the analysis of large amounts of data from remote sensing satellites. The Massively Parallel Processor represented one of several approaches to the problem of ...

What Adapteva has done is create a credit-card sized parallel-processing board. This comes with a dual-core ARM A9 processor and a 64-core Epiphany Multicore Accelerator chip, along with 1GB of ...

CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by NVIDIA for general computing on its own GPUs (graphics processing units). CUDA enables developers to speed up compute ...

Database vendor Sybase is upgrading its column-oriented database, Sybase IQ, to run on a massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture. The company announced the beta of the new Sybase IQ ...

This is part of an experimental computer, developed in the mid-1980s by the Goodyear Aerospace Corporation for the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The comptuer derives it name from ...
