Deterministic eight-way hardware multi-threading and a memory-to-memory instruction set make the 32-bit IP3023 a fast and efficient embedded network processor. Software I/O and a large on-chip RAM ...

Multithreaded programming is an increasingly popular way to express concurrency in applications. Preemptive multitasking, a popular technique for timesharing of computational resources in ...

MIPS Technologies Inc. will wield a new competitive weapon in the embedded-processor wars this week when it introduces hardware multithreading as an optional extension to its 32- and 64-bit ...

The concepts of threading from a software perspective were covered in previous chapters. Chapter 2 also touched briefly on threading inside hardware and Chapter 9 covered the concepts of single-core ...

Forward-looking: New research details a process that allows a CPU, GPU, and AI accelerator to work seamlessly in parallel on separate tasks. The pioneering breakthrough could provide blazing-fast, ...

These days, just developing a chip with a multi-core architecture doesn't necessarily equate to higher performance, since many mainstream applications are not multithreaded. As a result, big chip ...

Hardware-based multi-threading technology has for some time been known in the industry as a feasible technique for improving system performance, but not too many people are aware of just how much ...

In particular, those with compact cores suggested that by 90-nanometer or even 130-nm design rules, the difference in die area and cost between a single core with multithreading hardware support and ...

Simultaneous multi-threading is a useful performance tool for processor designers, but it doesn't have the same benefit that adding a full core does. I’ve been getting a fair number of questions about ...

Y'all have been a great help on my foray into multiple processing. So, I come to you ars, wondering how to analyze a little problem I have run into. The hardware: quad core 3ghz Mac Pro. The software: ...

Nobody likes it when his smart phone application freezes up entirely while it fetches information from the Internet. This is a sign that the app's developer didn't use one thread to retrieve the data, ...
