After all, the human brain is itself a massively parallel computer; writing programs that can operate in parallel is the key to making computers that seem more like us and less like machines.
To conduct these simulations using traditional CPU based processing one would normally need to book time on a dedicated parallel processing computer or spend thousands on a parallel network of PCs.
A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial ...
For upstart chip technology vendors, the surge in popularity of AI means, they are convinced, that their time has come, the chance to sell new kinds of parallel processing computers.
The company makes a reality out of the "2001: A Space Odyssey" fantasy of building self-regulating computer systems using parallel processing.
According to researchers from MIT, code written explicitly to take advantage of parallel computing usually loses the benefit of a compiler’s optimisation strategies. The reason, they say, is because ...
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 ...
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 ...
If your parallel processing computer has 10 separate chips, you tell each one to add up 800 numbers. When the 10 chips are done, you add up the results from each chip, and you’ve got your answer.
