In the last few years a number of start-up companies have announced massively parallel processors for embedded DSP applications. With their arrays of processing elements, these processors target ...

For example, an engineer may develop a real-time embedded control system at the same time as its human-machine interface. Maybe the system also has a computation-intensive task such as high-speed ...

A cycle-accurate alternative to speculation — unifying scalar, vector and matrix compute ...

The Pilot single-axis motion processor family is now available in a parallel interface version. Communicating with the host processor via a bi-directional, 16-bit parallel data port, the new Parallel ...

You can't swing a dead cat six inches these days without hitting a a new Kickstarter project. When it works, Kickstarter is a great way to tie niche ideas or new concepts directly to people interested ...

The semiconductor industry is facing a structural transformation, as AI reshapes computing needs. AI is poised to drive most ...

Scientists developed a new architecture and approach, which combines data storage and processing onto a single chip using "photonic" or light-based processors that deals out information much faster ...

Parallel processing is an idea that will be familiar to most readers. Few of you will not be reading this on a device with only one processor core, and quite a few of you will have experimented with ...

Parallel processing on a massive scale, based on interconnecting numerous chips, has been used for years to create supercomputers. However, its application to desktop systems has been a challenge ...

One particular frustration with the UNIX shell is the inability to easily schedule multiple, concurrent tasks that fully utilize CPU cores presented on modern systems. The example of focus in this ...

Designing the software architecture and choosing algorithms Implementing the software in a high-level language or assembly code (or often, a mixture of both, and possibly incorporating off-the-shelf ...
