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 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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Microprocessors are marching into a multicore future to keep delivering performance gains without frying in their own heat. But mainstream software has yet to find its path to using the new ...
