The longstanding technology trend of creating ever larger and faster processors started fragmenting several years ago when power-density and high-frequency design needs started becoming impediments.

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used ...

Python's "multiprocessing" module feels like threads, but actually launches processes. Many people, when they start to work with Python, are excited to hear that the language supports threading. And, ...

A clearer understanding of the differences between multithreading on a single coprocessor and utilizing multiple processors is essential to designers of wireless systems. Cell phones were among the ...
