A computer that can calculate hundreds of scientific tasks simultaneously and thus helps provide a solution to key social ...

Prof. Nikos Hardavellas and select IEMS faculty have recently announced the launch of the Intel Parallel Computing Center (IPCC) at Northwestern. Prof. Nikos Hardavellas and select IEMS faculty have ...

Modern computer chips handle data at the mind-blowing rate of some 10^13 bits per second. Neurons, by comparison, fire at a rate of around 100 times per second or so. And yet the brain outperforms the ...

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have created a biological computer using nanotechnology. This, in itself, is not so remarkable, but it can solve mathematical problems much faster than ...

Yesterday, in a teleconference, Intel and Microsoft announced that they will start to fund serious efforts to make parallel computing mainstream. The companies are injecting $20 million into ...

Physicists at Paderborn University have used complex computer simulations to develop a new design for significantly more efficient solar cells than previously available. A thin layer of organic ...

The technology comes from Lund University in Sweden. Here a biological computing process has led to a computer capable of extremely fast calculations and in a manner that is far more energy efficient ...

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 dozens of CPUs ...

A study reports the realization of a parallel computer based on designed nanofabricated channels explored in a massively parallel fashion by protein filaments propelled by molecular motors. A study ...
