In the past, the CPU was the undisputed center of computing. But today, the GPU has taken that crown—not by replacing the CPU entirely, but by surpassing it in relevance, performance, and versatility ...

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 the ...

A new technical paper titled “New Tools, Programming Models, and System Support for Processing-in-Memory Architectures” was ...

The tide is changing for analytics architectures. Traditional approaches, from the data warehouse to the data lake, implicitly assume that all relevant data can be stored in a single, centralized ...

This paper examines the way in which system-wide TQM co-evolves with advances in organizational design by shifting the emphasis from sequential to parallel processing as the dominant design principle.

The goal is to solve the "burnt pancake problem," where an algorithm must sort elements from largest to smallest by flipping them over, much as a cook would flip a stack of differently sized pancakes.

Using virtual machine software or operating system virtualization and partitioning software, a single system can be utilized as if it was many individual systems. Using parallel processing software, ...
