A new study has demonstrated that researchers trying to model a range of processes could use the power and capabilities of a particular XBox chip as a much cheaper alternative to other forms of ...

Most computers in the world tend to do one thing and then move on to the next thing, a series of sequential tasks. For decades, computer scientists have struggled to get machines to do multiple things ...

A new study by a University of Warwick researcher has demonstrated that researchers trying to model a range of processes could use the power and capabilities of a particular XBox chip as a much ...

The dream of building self-regulating computer systems using parallel processing was not new in the 1960s when "2001: A Space Odyssey" acquainted millions of us with HAL. Computer makers have been ...

A study by a University of Warwick researcher has found that the processor in the XBox games console could provide a much cheaper way of performing parallel processing. Dr Simon Scarle, from the ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The technology that makes the fastest computers so fast -- parallel processing -- is starting to wend its way from the research community into personal computers, and a Purdue ...

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 ...
