Nobody likes it when his smart phone application freezes up entirely while it fetches information from the Internet. This is a sign that the app's developer didn't use one thread to retrieve the data, ...

Using multiple threads can help you achieve greater performance, scalability, and responsiveness in your applications—but you need to be careful. This article begins a series on the tools and ...

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.

A reader recently contacted us and asked a question worth answering in an article. How does Windows (and perhaps all OS's) take advantage of multiple cores? Alternatively, if this function is built ...

A new processing technique could double the speed of existing computer performance while also improving efficiency during the heaviest of workloads, according to a new study. The software algorithm, ...

Forward-looking: New research details a process that allows a CPU, GPU, and AI accelerator to work seamlessly in parallel on separate tasks. The pioneering breakthrough could provide blazing-fast, ...
