About 20 years ago engineers around the world began demonstrating what is still the greatest computer innovation of my lifetime, parallel processing. (For more on the concept, visit this course at ...

After all, the human brain is itself a massively parallel computer; writing programs that can operate in parallel is the key to making computers that seem more like us and less like machines.

Parallel processing could be the way forward. So, what exactly is parallel processing? No doubt you'll be aware that, within any DAW, there are two primary ways in which effects can be added. The ...

Parallel processing is an idea that will be familiar to most readers. Few of you will not be reading this on a device with only one processor core, and quite a few of you will have experimented wit… ...

Parallel processing or perish? So I was trying to have a quiet hangover and mix with the good and the great of the industry the other morning at yet another technical meeting.

The laboratory is shrinking. Scientists and engineers are borrowing miniaturization, integration, and parallel-processing techniques from the computer industry to develop laboratory devices and ...

Database vendor Sybase is upgrading its column-oriented database, Sybase IQ, to run on a massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture. The company announced the beta of the new Sybase IQ ...

Chemical process simulations are crucial for optimizing industrial operations, but they often require significant ...
