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 ...

Back in 1965, Intel cofounder Gordon Moore predicted that the semiconductor industry could double the number of transistors on a chip every 12 months (he later amended it to 24 months) for about the ...

A team of researchers developed “parallel optical matrix-matrix multiplication” (POMMM), which could revolutionize tensor processing by enabling a single light source to perform multiple operations ...

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 ...

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 ...

(1) A computer architecture that performs more than one operation at the same time. See multicore, multithreading, GPGPU, pipeline processing and vector processor. (2) Using multiple computers. See ...

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 ...
