The evolution of motherboard power systems has always been a challenging environment from both a cost and performance standpoint. This is particularly true for the CPU Vcore power control. Over the ...

AMD’s Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) hardware framework provides Heterogeneous Uniform Memory Access (hUMA) to CPUs and GPUs (Fig. 1). It radically changes the way CPUs and GPUs will interact ...

The race to process more data faster using less power is creating a series of debug challenges at the system level, where developers need to be able to trace interactions across multiple and often ...

[RetroBytes] nicely presents the curious history of the SPARC processor architecture. SPARC, short for Scalable Processor Architecture, defined some of the most commercially successful RISC processors ...

Every processor ever built contains an underlying “architecture,” representing deep-seated characteristics that transcend any single CPU core or physical design. This architecture defines how a ...

Innovation in the high performance computing world requires that new technology be created while maintaining compatibility with older applications. The Intel Xeon Phi processor is an example of ...

This has probably been brought up before (maybe many times) but I couldn't find it under the search.<P>So basically, are there any instances when having dual CPUs is capable of being over twice as ...

Data centers continue to heat up as new processors consume more energy than ever before. Cooling is the primary weapon against the heat these processors generate, but it won’t be able to keep up ...
