Server virtualization is based on the idea that server hardware has become so powerful in recent years that most workloads do not require a dedicated server. Instead, a number of virtual machines can ...

Allocating CPU resources in Hyper-V has always been somewhat simplistic. Through the Hyper-V Manager, administrators are able to allocate virtual processors to individual virtual machines (VMs). The ...

At some point, everyone learns that a CPU has a variable number of cores inside, and that number influences its performance. The next natural impulse is to find out how many cores your CPU has. The ...

Microsoft Thursday said the next upgrade of its Windows Server operating system will scale up to 256 logical processors. Microsoft defines a logical processor as the number of physical processors ...

If things progress as expected, the next Mac Pro won’t have any problem competing with high end iMacs for the speed crown amongst Apple machines. HardMac (via MacRumors) profiles the next generation ...

Programmable devices are driving ASICs out of their traditional home in the network communications market, according to Chuck Fox, president and chief executive officer of Chameleon Systems Inc. of ...

Researchers at Harvard University claim to have created a programmable, logical quantum processor, that can encode up to 48 logical qubits, and execute hundreds of ‘logical’ gate operations. Their ...

In quantum computing, a quantum bit or “qubit” is one unit of information, just like a binary bit in classical computing. For more than two decades, physicists and engineers have shown the world that ...

Imagine an alpinist climbing within 100 feet of a summit and being told he could go no farther without a special pass. Or a chef being informed that the transcendent ingredient in her signature dish ...

Arbitrary logical state preparation protocol. Top panel: The surface code is divided into 5 regions, the central data qubit, regions I, II, III, and IV. The logical operators Z ̂_L and X ̂_L intersect ...
