Existing processors in PCs, smartphones and other devices can be supercharged for enormous power and efficiency gains using a new parallel processing software framework designed to eliminate ...

Scientists introduce what they call 'simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading' or SHMT. This system doubles computer processing speeds with existing hardware by simultaneously using graphics ...

Two new studies suggest optical computing, which uses light to process data, is much closer to becoming a faster, more energy-efficient alternative to conventional systems. One study used an optical ...
