Stream Processors, Inc. (SPI) recently unveiled its data-parallel processor architecture and announced two chips based on the architecture. According to SPI, its architecture is optimized for ...

For nearly 10 years, computer processors have been getting faster by using multiple cores rather than raising their individual speeds. This measure makes our PCs and smartphones more power-efficient, ...

A hands-on introduction to parallel programming and optimizations for 1000+ core GPU processors, their architecture, the CUDA programming model, and performance analysis. Students implement various ...

Programming parallel processors isn't easy, especially when the number of processing elements is large. No single technique applies to all situations. But in its Storm-1 architecture, Stream ...

The SpiNNaker project aims to develop parallel computer systems with more than a million embedded processors. The goal of the project is to support largescale simulations of systems of spiking neurons ...

Chip vendor Nvidia plans to use its Cuda parallel computing architecture in all its GPUs (graphics processing units), including its Tegra system-on-a-chip for mobile devices. Chip vendor Nvidia plans ...

SEMICONDUCTOR firms make integrated circuits with critical dimensions that are shrinking in leaps and bounds. With chip sizes down to 130 nanometres (1nm is a billionth of a metre) and heading fast ...

This course focuses on developing and optimizing applications software on massively parallel graphics processing units (GPUs). Such processing units routinely come with hundreds to thousands of cores ...
