The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and IBM have launched a new collaboration to create The Multicore Computing Center (MCC), a unique facility that will focus on supercomputing ...

A new 6U CompactPCI single-board computer from MEN Micro combines Intel’s multicore technology with a flexible mezzanine-card extension to deliver the needed performance for a range of applications, ...

Giving the keynote address at the Multicore Expo in Santa Clara Tuesday (March 27), Anant Agarwal, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) spoke about how multicore computers will ...

Once upon a time, chip makers made computer chips faster every year by increasing their processing speeds. But lately, the microprocessor industry has run into some fundamental limits to those speeds.

Adding more cores is desirable to meet growing computing demands, but it could create more challenges for programmers writing code that enables applications to work effectively with multicore chips.

This figure shows the speed increases associated with using the NAG Library for SMP and multicore computer systems. Medical device engineers seeking to improve their use of the processing power of ...

Multicore processors have driven substantial increases in computing power for commercial applications, but their use in aircraft—and particularly in safety-critical avionics such as flight control ...

Targeting embedded-system applications, such as industrial automation, multimedia kiosks, gaming, and medical devices, Ampro Computers recently announced the ReadyBoard 830 single-board computer, ...

Software developers aiming to tweak their applications for multicore microprocessors have gained a boost from Advanced Micro Devices at a Sunnyvale, California developer center packed with computers ...

Adding more cores is desirable to meet growing computing demands, but it could create more challenges for programmers writing code that enables applications to work effectively with multicore chips.

Programmers will need to 'future-proof' their code to keep up-to-date in case additional cores are added to a computing system, says Intel exec at the Multicore Expo Adding more cores is desirable to ...
