I've been getting a fair number of questions about multi-threading the past couple of weeks. The reason is that Intel has been previewing its "Nehalem EX" Xeon processor in advance of Advanced Micro ...

James Laudon is one of the authors, along with Kunle Olukotun and Lance Hammond, of the Chip Multiprocessor Architecture: Techniques to Improve Throughput and Latency book from Morgan & Claypool ...

Currently MIPS offers two multi-threaded solutions: the single-core MIPS32 34K and the multi-core MIPS32 1004K coherent processing system (CPS). It's new 64-bit MIPS64 Prodigy platform pushes past ...

Forward-looking: New research details a process that allows a CPU, GPU, and AI accelerator to work seamlessly in parallel on separate tasks. The pioneering breakthrough could provide blazing-fast, ...

The next generation of AMD processors could enjoy even more capable multithreaded performance with an improvement to simultaneous multithreading, called SM4. It would effectively give Zen 3-powered ...

New applications that servers must handle are often large and function-rich; they use many operating system services and access large databases. Not only does that make the instruction and data ...
