Physicists at Paderborn University have used complex computer simulations to develop a new design for significantly more efficient solar cells than previously available. A thin layer of organic ...

Back in 1965, Intel cofounder Gordon Moore predicted that the semiconductor industry could double the number of transistors on a chip every 12 months (he later amended it to 24 months) for about the ...

Many attempts have been made over the last 46 years to rewrite Amdahl’s law, a theory that focuses on performance relative to parallel and serial computing. One scientist hopes to prove that Amdahl’s ...

Prof. Nikos Hardavellas and select IEMS faculty have recently announced the launch of the Intel Parallel Computing Center (IPCC) at Northwestern. Prof. Nikos Hardavellas and select IEMS faculty have ...

(Phys.org) —The semiconductor technology company Adapteva earlier this month featured its parallel-processing board for Linux supercomputingts at a major Linux event, and the board is targeted to ship ...

Artificial intelligence and parallel computing could refine studies of the movement of single molecules inside cells.

In this video, Michael Wolfe from PGI continues his series of tutorials on parallel programming. “The second in a series of short videos to introduce you to parallel programming with OpenACC and the ...

As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, so does its appetite for speed and energy. The quest for faster, smarter systems has driven researchers to an unlikely ally—light itself. A new study by ...

The technology comes from Lund University in Sweden. Here a biological computing process has led to a computer capable of extremely fast calculations and in a manner that is far more energy efficient ...
