Since 2005, computer CPU chip makers have increasingly adopted the use of multiple cores to increase performance. Each core runs a separate computing task, so the computer gets more work done. Before ...

Discussions about CPUs often frame one instruction set architecture (ISA) against another—x86 vs. Arm, Arm vs. RISC-V, and so on. However, it’s common to use multiple CPU architectures in a single ...

Research Triangle Park, N.C.—Systems-on-a-chip (SOCs) are continuing to march toward reality and away from the realm of just being a theoretical goal or marketing theme. Along the way, semiconductor ...

The company says this is the last design before exascale, but it’s a big leap in its own right. Supercomputer maker Cray announced what it calls its last supercomputer architecture before entering the ...

A CPU, or central processing unit, is like the brain of any computer or mobile device. CPUs receive data from every other part of the device, and then decide how and when to launch apps, display ...

RapidMind Multi-core Development Platform 3.0 helps developers fully leverage the processing power of multi-core x86 chips RapidMind is announcing on Monday software intended to help developers ...
