Multicore
Making multicore CPUs work in embedded communications designs

By Jarrod Siket, Netronome Systems
Making multicore CPUs work in embedded communications designs As network traffic gets more voluminous, diverse, and unpredictable, the solutions that used to work well are being overtaxed. A new heterogeneous multicore architecture comes to the rescue.

Releasing the processing potential of GPUsReleasing the processing potential of GPUs
By Duncan Young, Contributor
High-performance Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have evolved from fixed-function graphics execution units to SIMD processors. Now, the key to implementing GPU processing lies in a new generation of tools including CUDA, OpenCL, and more to integrate code development across heterogenous CPU/GPU architectures.
