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.

To conduct these simulations using traditional CPU based processing one would normally need to book time on a dedicated parallel processing computer or spend thousands on a parallel network of PCs.

Software engineering applications are practically unlimited. In fact, software engineering has grown so fast in the last several decades that it has become tightly connected with all other areas of ...

The main difference between a parallel processing machine and a typical personal computer is in the number of microprocessors, or chips. A personal computer usually has one microprocessor.

Did startup Flow Computing just make CPUs 100x faster? Here’s the white paper and FAQs The company claims its parallel processing ideas can double performance overnight.

To conduct these simulations using traditional CPU based processing one would normally need to book time on a dedicated parallel processing computer or spend thousands on a parallel network of PCs.

GPUs are versatile and excel in handling graphics rendering and parallel tasks, while CPUs (Central Processing Units) are the general-purpose brains of a computer, handling a wide range of tasks.

Finnish startup Flow Computing Oy today revealed seemingly outlandish plans to transform the chip industry with a new Parallel Processing Unit that it says can boost the performance of any central ...

One intended use for such a computer was the analysis of large amounts of data from remote sensing satellites. The Massively Parallel Processor represented one of several approaches to the problem of ...

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 ...
