Parallelism used to be the domain of supercomputers working on weather simulations or plutonium decay. It is now part of the architecture of most SoCs. But just how efficient, effective and widespread ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

The addition of multiple cores to microprocessors has created a significant opportunity for parallel programming, but a killer application is needed to push the concept into the mainstream, ...

Stanford and many of the biggest companies in computing will announce Friday, May 2, a joint effort to address a major missed opportunity in information technology: the dearth of software that can ...

The landscape of high-performance computing (HPC) storage is undergoing significant change. Traditional simulation and data engineering workloads are increasingly running alongside generative AI, ...

Before a chip design is turned from a hardware design language (HDL) like VHDL or Verilog into physical hardware, testing and validating the design is an essential step. Yet simulating a HDL design is ...

Information technology (IT) has the potential to continue to dramatically transform how we work and live. One might expect that future IT advances will occur as a natural continuation of the stunning ...

Feature-rich consumer products and the need for these products to support increasing performance demands at lower cost and less power is not a new issue. Nor is the fact that the power ceiling has ...

The core concepts in hardware-software co-design are getting another look, nearly two decades after this approach was first introduced and failed to catch on. What’s different this time around is the ...

Most software today is still being written for sequential execution, and programming models need to change to take advantage of faster hardware and an increasing number of cores on chips, panelists ...
