Existing processors in PCs, smartphones and other devices can be supercharged for enormous power and efficiency gains using a new parallel processing software framework designed to eliminate ...

Researchers at two U.S. universities have answered the age-old question of how to use burnt pancakes and E. coli to create more-efficient sorting algorithms. The researchers’ study was conducted by ...

Many hands make light work, or so they say. So do many cores, many threads and many data points when addressed by a single computing instruction. Parallel programming – writing code that breaks down ...

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 ...

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 ...
