Researchers Using Parallel Processing Computing Could Save Thousands By Using An Xbox Date: September 15, 2009 Source: University of Warwick Summary: A new study has demonstrated that researchers ...

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

After all, the human brain is itself a massively parallel computer; writing programs that can operate in parallel is the key to making computers that seem more like us and less like machines.

For upstart chip technology vendors, the surge in popularity of AI means, they are convinced, that their time has come, the chance to sell new kinds of parallel processing computers.

To conduct these simulations using traditional CPU based processing one would normally need to book time on a dedicated parallel processing computer or spend thousands on a parallel network of PCs.

Dr Scarle has found the XBox 360's graphical processing unit can perform much the same scientific modelling as several thousand pounds of parallel network PCs. "This is a highly effective way of ...

Computing is moving from serial processing, where each step has to be completed before the next is started, to massively parallel processing. The resulting leap in computer power will have a major ...

If your parallel processing computer has 10 separate chips, you tell each one to add up 800 numbers. When the 10 chips are done, you add up the results from each chip, and you’ve got your answer.
