A new study has demonstrated that researchers trying to model a range of processes could use the power and capabilities of a particular XBox chip as a much cheaper alternative to other forms of ...

In the early 1980s, when I was teaching and doing research at Yale’s computer science department and School of Management, my colleagues and I dreamed about the great promises of artificial ...

Finnish startup Flow Computing has emerged from stealth mode, having raised €4 million ($4.3m) in pre-seed funding. The round was led by Nordic venture capitalist firm Butterfly Ventures, with ...

Most computers in the world tend to do one thing and then move on to the next thing, a series of sequential tasks. For decades, computer scientists have struggled to get machines to do multiple things ...

According to researchers from MIT, code written explicitly to take advantage of parallel computing usually loses the benefit of a compiler’s optimisation strategies. The reason, they say, is because ...

Back in 1965, Intel cofounder Gordon Moore predicted that the semiconductor industry could double the number of transistors on a chip every 12 months (he later amended it to 24 months) for about the ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in analog computing, developing a programmable electronic circuit that harnesses the properties of high-frequency electromagnetic waves to perform complex ...

A new study by a University of Warwick researcher has demonstrated that researchers trying to model a range of processes could use the power and capabilities of a particular XBox chip as a much ...
