David Courtright of MIPS Technologies examines what cores need formulti-CPU designs and examines how the MIPS32 M4K4 core has beendesigned specifically for these SOCs. The use of multiple CPUs in SOC ...

With silicon clock scaling largely dead thanks to the laws of physics, computer scientists and chip designers have had to search for performance improvements in other areas -- typically by improving ...

The adoption of Linux is accelerating, as it is becoming the operating system of choice for a variety of embedded applications. However, designers of these performance-intensive, embedded SoCs running ...

Moore's law has defined processor development for decades. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore's edict, however, is sometimes inaccurately portrayed as saying that processors double in speed every few years ...

RapidMind Multi-core Development Platform 3.0 helps developers fully leverage the processing power of multi-core x86 chips RapidMind is announcing on Monday software intended to help developers ...

I have a 1.1GHz T-Bird, on an Asus A7A266 mobo, 128MB PC266 ram. When I assembled the thing (some time ago), at the bios I just selected the 1100MHz option on the CPU speed and left the CPU multiple ...

Imagination Technologies announced a new multi-core processor called "PowerVX SGX543" that could land in the next-generation iPhone this summer. Imagination manufactures the PowerVR MBX chip found in ...

Looking for something to give all 4 cores in a C2Quad a good workout.<BR><BR>I recall there was a multi-core version of Prime95, but I understand that something called CPUBurn is better(?) But I'm ...
