Partitioning can provide a number of benefits to a sharding system, including faster query execution. Let’s see how it works. In a previous post, I described a sharding system to scale throughput and ...

The widespread adoption of chiplets in domain-specific applications is creating a partitioning challenge that is much more complex than anything chip design teams have dealt with in previous designs.

Using edge systems to run elements of generative AI could be game-changing. It requires planning and skill, but this hybrid approach may be the future. Historically, large language models (LLMs) have ...

Part 3 of this series on PC board design for low EMI discussed partitioning and why that’s important to keep “noisy” signal fields from cross-coupling to “quiet” signal fields within the board’s ...

Editor’s note (1/12/10): For more-current advice, see “How (and Why) to Partition Your Hard Drive.” No matter the capacity of your PC’s hard drive, chances are that it’s set up to function as one ...

If you've ever wanted to dual-boot a different OS or set up a clean testing environment separate from your everyday files, you’ve probably considered partitioning your hard drive or already have.

Partitioning your hard drive makes managing the operating system, files, and file formats of each partition easier. For example, you can install Windows 11/10 on one partition and store movies or ...
