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 ...

In what has become a not-so-secret secret, Microsoft and Intel are set to unveil on March 18 their joint funding of more parallel-processing research work, according to various industry reports.

Parallel programming exploits the capabilities of multicore systems by dividing computational tasks into concurrently executed subtasks. This approach is fundamental to maximising performance and ...

In 2011 even low-end laptops come with two cores and, at the high end, eight and even 16 cores aren't uncommon. Similarly, you would be hard-pressed to find a server that didn't have at least support ...

Traditionally, massively parallel, multicore chips are usually aimed for high-performance line-powered applications, like WiMAX base stations or desktop video processing. But 3DLabs is headed in a ...

In this paper the authors present manifold, an open-source parallel simulation framework for multi-core architectures. It consists of a parallel simulation kernel, a set of micro-architecture ...

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, ...

Video transcoding is the problem of converting from one compressed video format to another by decoding to raw video frames and then re-encoding in the new format. In many applications efficient ...

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 ...

Multicore chip designs, large symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) systems, and clustering can bring many processors to bear on an application. But without proper software, they're simply large ...

Parallel programming is hard. But debugging it is even harder. Unfortunately, taking advantage of multicore solutions like Intel’s 80-core TeraScale prototype will require some type of ...
