—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
During the last few years, GPUs have evolved from simple devices for the display signal preparation into powerful coprocessors that do not only support typical computer graphics t...
Communications co-processors (CCPs) have become commonplace in modern MPPs and networks of workstations. These co-processors provide dedicated hardware support for fast communicat...
