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

Most computers in the world tend to do one thing and then move on to the next thing, a series of sequential tasks. For decades, computer scientists have struggled to get machines to do multiple things ...

A new study by a University of Warwick researcher has demonstrated that researchers trying to model a range of processes could use the power and capabilities of a particular XBox chip as a much ...

In the early 1980s, when I was teaching and doing research at Yale’s computer science department and School of Management, my colleagues and I dreamed about the great promises of artificial ...

According to researchers from MIT, code written explicitly to take advantage of parallel computing usually loses the benefit of a compiler’s optimisation strategies. The reason, they say, is because ...

Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is ...

The "Newsweek Staff" byline typically denotes a collectively authored piece, often produced by the editorial team or news desk. It's commonly used for breaking news, aggregated reporting, or stories ...

Danny Hillis thinks about machines that change the way people think about machines THERE are probably a few dozen people alive today who can claim to have designed a machine that, for a few weeks or ...
