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 ...

Have chips reached a plateau for the number of processor cores they can effectively make use of? Possibly yes, until you change the programming model. Survey data suggests that additional ...

A lot of components have to work together to get the best performance out of a computer, but the most important is usually its processor. Intel's processor chips are in most of the computers you'll ...

The speed race is over. Faced with the growing energy consumption andexcessive operating temperatures caused by high CPU clock speeds,microprocessor vendors have adopted a new approach to boosting ...
