MIPS Technologies Inc. will wield a new competitive weapon in the embedded-processor wars this week when it introduces hardware multithreading as an optional extension to its 32- and 64-bit ...

Deterministic eight-way hardware multi-threading and a memory-to-memory instruction set make the 32-bit IP3023 a fast and efficient embedded network processor. Software I/O and a large on-chip RAM ...

These days, just developing a chip with a multi-core architecture doesn't necessarily equate to higher performance, since many mainstream applications are not multithreaded. As a result, big chip ...

I've been getting a fair number of questions about multi-threading the past couple of weeks. The reason is that Intel has been previewing its "Nehalem EX" Xeon processor in advance of Advanced Micro ...

In particular, those with compact cores suggested that by 90-nanometer or even 130-nm design rules, the difference in die area and cost between a single core with multithreading hardware support and ...

AI thrives on data but feeding it the right data is harder than it seems. As enterprises scale their AI initiatives, they face the challenge of managing diverse data pipelines, ensuring proximity to ...

Hardware-based multi-threading technology has for some time been known in the industry as a feasible technique for improving system performance, but not too many people are aware of just how much ...

As we've come to learn recently, there are four new hardware vulnerabilities that affect Intel processors. These new flaws allow attackers to leak confidential data by exploiting microarchitectural ...

Nobody likes it when his smart phone application freezes up entirely while it fetches information from the Internet. This is a sign that the app's developer didn't use one thread to retrieve the data, ...
