In the past, the CPU was the undisputed center of computing. But today, the GPU has taken that crown—not by replacing the CPU ...

Engineers are harnessing the powers of graphics processing units (GPUs) and more, with a bevy of tricks to meet the computational demands of artificial intelligence.

It is akin to a conventional computer's central processing unit (CPU), which performs calculations using the information held in binary bits – the 1s and 0s of data.

Chinese chipmaker LoongsonTechnology announced the launch of a new generation ofdomestic-made computer central processing units (CPUs), theLoongson 3A6000, and a printer main control chip, the ...

A team of computer scientists at the University of Toronto recently discovered that a certain type of hardware attack is effective against graphics processing units (GPUs), the core computing engines ...

CPU: The central processing unit and the main general purpose processor within most modern electronic devices that handles the decision making and is the most impactful when it comes to general ...

We look at data processing units, the latest in a line of hardware offload devices that emerged in the era of composable infrastructure. They come as hardware and even in the cloud.

What Is Parallel Processing, or Parallelization? In parallel processing, “different parts of a computation are executed simultaneously on separate processor hardware,” says Tao B. Schardl, a ...
