David Courtright of MIPS Technologies examines what cores need formulti-CPU designs and examines how the MIPS32 M4K4 core has beendesigned specifically for these SOCs. The use of multiple CPUs in SOC ...

A lot of components have to work together to get the best performance out of a computer, but the most important is usually its processor. Intel's processor chips are in most of the computers you'll ...

Though the use of multiple processors has grown in recent years, multiprocessor computers are more than 30 years old. Since this time, their capabilities have evolved as much as their implementation.

"Businesses face huge challenges when it comes to managing global mobile workforces, network security, mountains of complex information, and sprawling networks of communications, and computing devices ...

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 ...

The company says this is the last design before exascale, but it’s a big leap in its own right. Supercomputer maker Cray announced what it calls its last supercomputer architecture before entering the ...

Vendors categorize single-processor architectures by the types of applications they target. For example, microcontrollers, DSPs, network processors, and DSCs (digital-signal controllers) employ ...
