Have you ever studied hard for a test the night before, only to fail miserably the next day? Alternatively, you may have felt ill-prepared after studying the night before when, to your astonishment, ...

A superparallel future may need new languages, but for now there's Milk, MIT's big data acceleration system that works with tools in existing C/C++ applications Earlier this week, MIT’s Computer ...

Many attempts have been made over the last 46 years to rewrite Amdahl’s law, a theory that focuses on performance relative to parallel and serial computing. One scientist hopes to prove that Amdahl’s ...

Intel tried to push back at coverage of a recently published paper that found its Core i7 processors couldn’t match the parallel processing performance of an Nvidia GPU, saying its rival took the ...
