Since 2005, computer CPU chip makers have increasingly adopted the use of multiple cores to increase performance. Each core runs a separate computing task, so the computer gets more work done. Before ...

The technology behind Hyper-Threaded, or HT, and multi-core processors enables processors to far exceed the performance of single-core, non-HT processors. The differences between the technologies are ...

Just in time for the launch of Intel's QX6700 Quad Core processor, Valve Software held their third Hardware Editor's Day in beautiful Bellevue, Washington USA. The subject of Multi-Core processing was ...

Software development for embedded multi-core processors is considered to require a large expenditure and to be difficult. Researchers have now developed a new integrated tool chain to facilitate ...

CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the most important part of a computer. All the calculations needed to run a particular task or application on a computer are processed by the CPU. That’s why it is ...

The first smartphones with dual-core processors reached the market in 2010. Before that smartphones used single-core processors maxing out at around 1.4GHz. Since then the number of cores has grown ...

The speed race is over. Faced with the growing energy consumption andexcessive operating temperatures caused by high CPU clock speeds,microprocessor vendors have adopted a new approach to boosting ...

In recognition of the rapidly-growing interest in multi-core processor designs, QNX has introduced a Multi-Core Edition of its development tools. The company asserts that the structure of its ...

The widespread adoption of multi-core hardware is in many cases actually slowing down computing. A typical scenario: A company has a data-intensive software application and wants to make this software ...

As each new generation of computer processors arrives with a larger number of computing cores, computer scientists grapple with how best to make use of this proliferation of parallel power. Now ...
