In 1977, John Backus wrote a seminal paper titled, Can Programming Be Liberated From the von Neumann Style? In this paper, Backus defined the implications of what we refer to today as the “memory ...

The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...

The idea of creating data processing methods that mimic the activities of the neurons in the brain has led to new types of software, including machine learning algorithms, but it has also led to new ...

Computers have reached the point of being a commodity, with low prices and many brands to choose from. This progression of technology has made personal computing affordable to almost everyone, and the ...

A team of international scientists has found a way to make memory chips perform computing tasks. The advance means data could now be processed in the same spot where it is stored, leading to much ...

A research team at the Jülich Supercomputing Center, together with experts from NVIDIA, has set a new record in quantum ...

Engineers have proposed a method of cutting power use and costs in computer processors. Called fine-grained power gating, the method would shut off energy to unused portions of datapath and memory ...

QUESTION: I’m in the market for a new computer. Which processor I should be considering? ANSWER: The processor plays an important role in any computer, but the deciding factor is what you plan to do ...

Chip startup Efficient Computer Corp. exited stealth mode in 2024 with a $16 million seed funding round with the announcement of its first computer processor, the E0 system-on-chip (SoC) for ...
