It's hard to overemphasize how far computers have come and how they have transformed just about every aspect of our lives. From rudimentary devices like toasters to cutting-edge devices like ...

System-wide concerns in AI and automotive are forcing hardware and software teams to work together, but gaps still remain. Hardware and software engineers have a long history of working independently ...

While traditional single core systems employ a dedicated cache, theintroduction of multi-core platforms presents the opportunity toconsider the shared use of cache by multiple processors. Designs ...

Since 2005, computer CPU chip makers have increasingly adopted the use of multiple cores to increase performance. Each core runs a separate computing task, so the computer gets more work done. Before ...

An increasing number of multi-threaded embedded applications want to leverage multicore designs. Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) RTOS provides automatic load balancing of multiple threads in a ...

In reviewing CPU and server benchmarks, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that testing covers both single-core and multi-core performance. Here’s the difference. In terms of raw performance, both are equally ...

Enabling all cores of a processor can improve performance and multi-tasking capabilities, reduce the amount of energy consumed by the system, and improve the overall stability of the device, as the ...

It had particularly good multi-threaded performance for the cash, making it a superb allrounder, although for the game-obsessed, Intel still outstripped it in a few titles. As we saw in my 3rd Gen ...
