AMD is hosting its Fusion Developer Summit this week, and the overarching theme is heterogeneous computing and the convergence of the CPU and GPU. Is shared memory and true heterogeneous computing the ...

A new technical paper titled “Exploring Uncore Frequency Scaling for Heterogeneous Computing” was published by researchers at University of Illinois Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory.

“Heterogeneous multi-core architectures combine a few “host” cores, optimized for single-thread performance, with many small energy-efficient “accelerator” cores for data-parallel processing, on a ...

AMD's Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) hardware framework provides Heterogeneous Uniform Memory Access (hUMA) to CPUs and GPUs. It radically changes the way CPUs and GPUs will interact at the ...

Back in 2012, when AMD was in the process of backing out of the datacenter CPU business and did not really have its datacenter GPU act together at all, the US Department of Energy exhibited the ...

Data prefetching has emerged as a critical approach to mitigate the performance bottlenecks imposed by memory access latencies in modern computer architectures. By predicting the data likely to be ...
