Existing processors in PCs, smartphones and other devices can be supercharged for enormous power and efficiency gains using a new parallel processing software framework designed to eliminate ...

Scientists introduce what they call 'simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading' or SHMT. This system doubles computer processing speeds with existing hardware by simultaneously using graphics ...

University of Pennsylvania engineers have developed a new chip that uses light waves, rather than electricity, to perform the complex math essential to training AI. The chip has the potential to ...

"In the next two years, we plan to create a working prototype with processing speed of over 10 to the power of 19 operations per second, which significantly exceeds the current global level," ...

Researchers demonstrated a way to to manipulate electrons using pulses of light that last less than a trillionth of a second to record electrons bypassing a physical barrier almost instantaneously -- ...

One often overlooked component of any great gaming PC is the CPU. While shiny new graphics cards get all the attention, the CPU is just as important, as it determines how fast your computer is.

This new type of optical memory unit,called a programmable photonic latch, is fast and scalable. It could offer a high-speed silicon photonics solution for volatile memory. WASHINGTON — Researchers ...
