While this looks like a parallel computing problem at first glance, running the code on the CRAYs of the day gave relatively little speedup because the stiffness of the PDEs was a strong function ...

World’s first parallel computer based on biomolecular motors Date: February 26, 2016 Source: Technische Universitaet Dresden Summary: A study reports the realization of a parallel computer based ...

Quentin Stout and Christiane Jablonowski from the University of Michigan gave a nice introduction to parallel computing on Sunday. They covered everything from architecture to APIs to the politics ...

Back in 1965, Intel cofounder Gordon Moore predicted that the semiconductor industry could double the number of transistors on a chip every 12 months (he later amended it to 24 months) for about the ...

COMPUTER USAGE: Students get hands-on parallel programming experience on 3 parallel machines at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, including a 16 processor IBM SP-2 distributed memory ...

Even though dual, quad, and octo-core CPUs have been around for a while, it’s a far cry from truly massive parallel computing platforms. The chip manufacturer Adapteva is looking to put dozen… ...

Parallel computing is a booming field. However, the future was not always so assured. The field of parallel computing saw strong growth from the 1960s into the early 1990s, a multi-decade period that ...

What Is Parallel Processing, or Parallelization? In parallel processing, “different parts of a computation are executed simultaneously on separate processor hardware,” says Tao B. Schardl, a ...

With three parallel computers — one host PC and two guest PCs — the processor and the number of cores also become more important. You should calculate with at least one core per computer.

Parallel computing concepts are not new and have been part of computer science for decades, but they were originally relegated to highly specialized tasks such as using supercomputers to simulate ...
