When considering the future of CPU architecture, some industry watchers predict excitement, and some predict boredom. But no one predicts a return to the old days, when speed doubled at least every ...
[RetroBytes] nicely presents the curious history of the SPARC processor architecture. SPARC, short for Scalable Processor Architecture, defined some of the most commercially successful RISC processors ...
There are basically two ways to compute data. The first is with a DSP, a chip that performs very specialized functions on a limited set of data. These are very cheap, have amazing performance per watt ...
“Energy efficiency of electronic digital processors is primarily limited by the energy consumption of electronic communication and interconnects. The industry is almost unanimously pushing towards ...
Chip startup Efficient Computer Corp. exited stealth mode in 2024 with a $16 million seed funding round with the announcement of its first computer processor, the E0 system-on-chip (SoC) for ...
AMD’s Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) hardware framework provides Heterogeneous Uniform Memory Access (hUMA) to CPUs and GPUs (Fig. 1). It radically changes the way CPUs and GPUs will interact ...
Micron is challenging conventional computer architectures conceived decades ago with Automata, a highly parallel processor that can change its behavior to process the task at hand. The Automata ...
Intel released a new CPU model this week, the Intel Core i9 7900X, which is the latest model to feature a new cache architecture that hardware experts believe it will make exploitation of side-channel ...
In this post, we will explain what is a computer CPU pipeline. CPU (an abbreviation of the Central Processing Unit) is an important part of the computer that functions like a brain. And we already ...
