GPU-based sorting algorithms have emerged as a crucial area of research due to their ability to harness the immense parallel processing power inherent in modern graphics processing units. By ...

About 20 years ago engineers around the world began demonstrating what is still the greatest computer innovation of my lifetime, parallel processing. (For more on the concept, visit this course at the ...

The tide is changing for analytics architectures. Traditional approaches, from the data warehouse to the data lake, implicitly assume that all relevant data can be stored in a single, centralized ...

(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 ...

Parallel computing is not a new concept in digital simulation. The industry's leading simulators all have solutions that take advantage of advanced multicore technology. However, not all designs are ...

Python is powerful, versatile, and programmer-friendly, but it isn’t the fastest programming language around. Some of Python’s speed limitations are due to its default implementation, CPython, being ...

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 ...
