Researchers Using Parallel Processing Computing Could Save Thousands By Using An Xbox Date: September 15, 2009 Source: University of Warwick Summary: A new study has demonstrated that researchers ...

Finnish startup Flow Computing has emerged from stealth mode, having raised €4 million ($4.3m) in pre-seed funding. The round was led by Nordic venture capitalist firm Butterfly Ventures, with ...

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

After all, the human brain is itself a massively parallel computer; writing programs that can operate in parallel is the key to making computers that seem more like us and less like machines.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The technology that makes the fastest computers so fast -- parallel processing -- is starting to wend its way from the research community into personal computers, and a Purdue ...

Computing is moving from serial processing, where each step has to be completed before the next is started, to massively parallel processing. The resulting leap in computer power will have a major ...

Normally, such simulations would require time to be booked on a dedicated parallel processing computer or a parallel network of pcs created. Dr Scarle has found the XBox 360's graphical processing ...

Chapel is a reasonably simple programming language, but it supports parallelism in various forms. The run time controls how computers — whatever that means — communicate with one another.

By contrast, computers of conventional design operate on one or at most a few pieces of data per cycle. One intended application for such a design was the analysis of the large amounts of data ...

Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is ...
