A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial ...

Data centers continue to heat up as new processors consume more energy than ever before. Cooling is the primary weapon against the heat these processors generate, but it won’t be able to keep up ...

An international research team led by Robert Ott and Hannes Pichler has developed a novel architecture for quantum processors that is specifically designed for simulating fermions—particles such as ...

Curious about past computer architectures? Software engineer [Fabien Sanglard] has been experimenting with porting Another World, an action-adventure platformer, to different machines and ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- The next major advance in computer processors will likely be the move from today's two-dimensional chips to three-dimensional circuits, and the first three-dimensional ...

TRIPS is an example of a new computer architecture called EDGE for Explicit Data Graph Execution. While a traditional processor makes use of limited parallel processing to increase instruction ...

About SiFive SiFive is the leading provider of processor cores, accelerators, and SoC IP to create domain-specific architecture based on the free and open RISC-V instruction set architecture.

The low-hanging fruit of processor optimization may be gone, but new technologies are emerging.

Arm today announced Armv9, the next generation of its chip architecture. Its predecessor, Armv8, launched a decade ago and while it has seen its fair share of changes and updates, the new ...

A software programmable processor makes sense when the application requires more variations than can be supported in a fixed-function processor. For example, consumer video devices that require ...

The British chip designer Arm Holdings Ltd. introduced a roadmap for its next-generation central processing unit architecture today. Its new breed of chips will be optimized for specialized ...
