In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, a DNA-based computer that performs effectively has been created 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 ...

Chemical process simulations are crucial for optimizing industrial operations, but they often require significant ...

The challenge now is to make it possible—and cheap—for ordinary programmers to write programs that run in parallel. Mundie predicts big things when (he doesn't say if) Microsoft works it all out.

Flow Computing is a pioneer in licensing on-die ultra-high-performance parallel computing solutions to CPU vendors of all architectures. And today the company is emerging from stealth with a ...

The Massively Parallel Processor represented one of several approaches to the problem of processing data in parallel. Nearly all modern supercomputers use parallel processing, although not all follow ...

Database vendor Sybase is upgrading its column-oriented database, Sybase IQ, to run on a massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture. The company announced the beta of the new Sybase IQ ...

CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by NVIDIA for general computing on its own GPUs (graphics processing units).

A computer designer who for many years designed a succession of computers which were the most powerful in the world, took a traditional approach to his work. When asked what tools he used to design ...
