Processor extensibility with an external hardware module like FPGA or DSP core isn’t a new concept. However, there are no existing hardware solutions that allow the addition of extensions when a ...

The latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors feature extensions to the x86 instruction set for vectorization and other advanced optimizations. Vectorization – a single machine instruction operating ...

The potomac subcluster consists of a single homogeneous node type, designated as c18. Potomac is accessed via the server node chesapeake.hpc.vims.edu which handles logins, compilations, job submission ...

This document contains basic information about SciClone's RHEL 6/Opteron computing platform which consists of a single subcluster, vortex. In the vortex subcluster, vx01-vx28 are designated as type ...

In a previous post, we considered how you could create an optimized ISA for a domain-specific processor core by profiling software and experimenting with adding/removing instructions. Using the open ...

While the ability to extend a processor is nothing new, market dynamics are forcing a growing percentage of the industry to consider it a necessary part of their product innovation. From small IoT ...

A new paper from the University of Wisconsin tackles the question of whether ARM or x86 is more power efficient with updated processors and results from China's Loongson processor. Does ISA still ...
