Once a processor node has an address, it can be sent tasks from the controller node. In the example application, these tasks involve computing elements of the Mandelbrot Set.

The goal is "democratizing access to cheap, scalable parallel hardware." Each board has a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 chip as its CPU, which can offload tasks to Adapteva's Epiphany co-processor.

Google and Facebook are themselves good examples of firms that are leveraging the enormous power of parallel computing. When you type a phrase into Google’s search engine, thousands of computers ...

Just back from the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC), where I had a most interesting conversation with some of the people behind the Maxwell experimental high performance computer. That's ...

For example, it is often unclear if reported improvements are in the noise or observed by chance. In addition to distilling best practices from existing work, we propose statistically sound analysis ...

Each year, the Association for Computing Machinery honors a computer scientist for his or her contributions to the field. The prize, which comes with $250,000 thanks to Google and Intel, is named ...

NCAR was able to speed up the Weather Research & Forecasting Model by 20% by parallelizing one component of the model with NVIDIA CUDA software and a many-core GPU Computing Processor called Tesla.
