Just back from the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC), where I had a most interesting conversation with some of the people behind the Maxwell experimental high performance computer. That's ...

As microprocessors continue to push the limits of performance, buses are bumping up against the laws of physics in their attempt to keep pace. The large voltage swings required for parallel buses ...

Students will be able to analyze the computing and memory architecture of a super computing node and use OpenMP directives to improve vectorization of their programs. This module focuses on the key ...

After a youth spent playing with Amigas and getting into all sorts of trouble on the school computer network, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for hardware from the 80s and 90s. This extends ...

This article is the 3rd part of the series MCU Programming Basics, which is communication with external peripherals using serial communication. It differentiates the difference between parallel and ...

This is just a general question. I know, obviously, that there are RS-232 "serial ports" and IEEE 1284/Centronix ports "parallel ports," and that these are "digital" connections. Then you have things ...
