Microsoft execs haven't been beating the parallel-computing drum as loudly as they were a year or two ago, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening in this space. Late last month, Microsoft made ...

Introduction to parallel computing for scientists and engineers. Shared memory parallel architectures and programming, distributed memory, message-passing data-parallel architectures, and programming.

The difference between distributed computing and concurrent programming is a common area of confusion as there is a significant amount of overlap between the two when you set out to accomplish ...

David May is chief technical officer of fabless-semiconductor start-up XMOS, based in Bristol, England. Long an advocate of multicore, parallel computing, he was an early recruit to INMOS in 1978, ...

Distributed computing has markedly advanced the efficiency and reliability of complex numerical tasks, particularly matrix multiplication, which is central to numerous computational applications from ...

For NCI’s Prof Horacio González-Vélez, the challenge of computational science is building systems that are not only powerful, but keep up with the changing needs of science, industry and society.

Is it better to be as accurate as possible in machine learning, however long it takes, or pretty darned accurate in a really short amount of time? For DeepMind researchers Peter Buchlovsky and ...
