Chemical process simulations are crucial for optimizing industrial operations, but they often require significant ...

Physicists at Paderborn University have used complex computer simulations to develop a new design for significantly more efficient solar cells than previously available. A thin layer of organic ...

Japanese scientists have built a cellular automaton from individual molecules that carries out huge numbers of calculations in parallel ...

There is always the promise of using more computing power for a single task. Your computer has multiple CPUs now, surely. Your video card has even more. Your computer is probably networked to a ...

Quentin Stout and Christiane Jablonowski from the University of Michigan gave a nice introduction to parallel computing on Sunday. They covered everything from architecture to APIs to the politics ...

A study reports the realization of a parallel computer based on designed nanofabricated channels explored in a massively parallel fashion by protein filaments propelled by molecular motors.

Even though dual, quad, and octo-core CPUs have been around for a while, it’s a far cry from truly massive parallel computing platforms. The chip manufacturer Adapteva is looking to put dozens ...
