Modern computing has many foundational building blocks, including central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs) and data processing units (DPUs). However, what almost all modern ...

Intel director James Reinders explains the difference between task and data parallelism, and how there is a way around the limits imposed by Amdahl's Law... I'm James Reinders, and I'm going to cover ...

Few technologies have a more interesting history than parallel computing, in which multiple processors in a single system combine to tackle a problem. A chronicle of events in parallel computing says ...

(1) A channel that transmits data over several wires simultaneously, typically in increments of a byte (16, 32, 64 bits, etc.). (2) A parallel channel for IBM mainframes. In byte multiplexing mode, ...

An earlier printer that used the parallel port for a cabled connection to a computer. Today, there are no parallel ports on computers or printers. Either the printer is cabled to the computer via USB ...

I’m James Reinders, and I’m going to cover to key concepts involved with parallelism today. They are terms that you’ll hear when you start working with parallel programming, when you start looking at ...
