- Accelerators for High Performance Computing Investigation
- For many years microprocessor single thread performance has increased at rates consistent with Moore's Law for transistors. In the 1970s-1990s the improvement was mostly obtained by increasing clock frequencies. Clock speeds are now improving slowly and microprocessor vendors are increasing the number of cores per chip to obtain improved performance....

- AMD/ATI merger is one of equal problems
- Advanced Micro Devices bid to acquire Canadian based ATI Technologies is a risky strategy because both companies are facing the same issue: big, pricey, client-side chips in PCs and other devices are becoming less important, and less profitable than server-side chips.These two companies make very large, complex chips. Graphics processors...
