An interesting detail about the Intel 8087 floating point processor (FPU) is that it’s a co-processor that shares a bus with the 8086 or 8088 CPU and system memory, which means that somehow ...

Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Optical Feature Extraction Engine (OFE2), an optical engine that processes data at 12.5 GHz using light rather than electricity. Its integrated ...

A high-performance silicon-based quantum processor has been developed in which the spins of nine phosphorus nuclei — divided into two groups, or registers — and two shared electrons act as quantum ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 22 (Reuters) - NextSilicon, an Israeli startup whose computing chips are being evaluated by U.S. national labs, on Wednesday said it is developing a central processor that it hopes ...

Six months after Lip-Bu Tan began his quest to turn around struggling Intel, the semiconductor giant has announced a major hardware upgrade. On Thursday, Intel unveiled a new processor, codenamed ...

Hot Chips 25 was held August 24-26 on the Stanford University campus again this year, with many exciting and interesting presentations. I’ve noticed an overall trend with more focus being placed on ...

Small allocates 4MB (0x1000 bytes) of memory on the heap, and that serves as the main memory location wherein instructions are allocated using the small::alloc method. Small emulates the general ...

IBM on Tuesday announced a detailed roadmap to develop a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer called Quantum Starling. Part of the company's plan involves the new IBM Quantum Nighthawk ...

TL;DR: Researchers at Peking University developed a silicon-free transistor using bismuth oxyselenide, offering faster electron movement and full gate coverage around the source. This design promises ...

China may have just taken a significant step forward in the global chip race. A team of researchers from Peking University says it has developed a silicon-free transistor that could dramatically ...
