Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) is a way of improving the performance of a processor by executing operations simultaneously. Modern processors generally have an abundance of execution ...

Quentin Stout and Christiane Jablonowski from the University of Michigan gave a nice introduction to parallel computing on Sunday. They covered everything from architecture to APIs to the politics of ...

OpenMP is the unsung backbone of parallel computing, powerful, portable, and surprisingly simple. Used everywhere from ...

Rising development costs motivate companies to design fewer systems-on-chip, but to make each one they do design more flexible and programmable. Doing so makes it possible to reuse designs to take ...

Processors recently have added explicit parallelism in the form of multiple cores, and processor road maps are showing the number of cores increasing exponentially over time. This is in addition to ...

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Sun Microsystems Inc. will build into its Ultrasparc processor both instruction-level and multithreaded parallelism, two of the most talked-about ways of coaxing additional ...

Figure 1. Ultra-high parallel optical computing integrated chip - "Liuxing-I". High-detail view of an ultra-high parallelism optical computing integrated chip – “Liuxing-I”, showcasing the packaged ...

Parallel computing for differential equations has emerged as a critical field in computational science, enabling the efficient simulation of complex physical systems governed by ordinary and partial ...

When I wrote about password guessing using GPUs last week, I mentioned that password guessing is an embarrassingly parallel problem, right up there with 3-D rendering, face recognition, Monte Carlo ...
