A new technical paper titled “MegaMmap: Blurring the Boundary Between Memory and Storage for Data-Intensive Workloads” was published by researchers at Illinois Institute of Technology. “In this work, ...

Funded under the European Commission's IST programme, the POP project focused on generating an environment to allow applications designed using the OpenMP Application Program Interface (API) to ...

Introduction to parallel computing for scientists and engineers. Shared memory parallel architectures and programming, distributed memory, message-passing data-parallel architectures, and programming.

This is the second in the series on the essentials of multiprocessor programming. This time around we are going to look at some of the normally little considered effects of having memory being shared ...

More databases and data stores and the applications that run atop them are moving to in-memory processing, and sometimes the memory capacity in a single big iron NUMA server isn’t enough and the ...

Editor's Note: Multicore architectures find use across a diverse range of applications thanks to their performance and efficiency. By combining several general-purpose MCU cores — or MCU cores and ...

The use of memory-heavy IP in SoCs for automotive, artificial intelligence (AI), and processor applications is steadily increasing. However, these memory-heavy IP often have only a single access point ...

This is the second entry in an insideHPC series that delves into in-memory computing and the designs, hardware, and software behind it. This series, compiled in a complete Guide, also covers five ways ...
