Instead, Motorola's new 8X multiprocessor system couples a traditional 1.7GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with a natural language processor and a contextual computing processor, as well as a quad-core graphics processor.
The X8 is actually a combination of a 1.7GHz Snapdragon processor with customized firmware and pair of mysterious chips - a "contextual computing processor" and a "natural language processor".
In the D-Wave system, a quantum computing processor, made from a lattice of tiny superconducting wires, is chilled close to absolute zero.
Now it's a general-purpose parallel computing processor.
An ISP can be implemented on a dedicated hardware, a general-purpose processor, or a parallel-computing processor.
The implementation of an ISP algorithm on a parallel-computing processor, however, requires further optimization for the utilization of multiple processing elements in parallel.
The speed of computing processor has been improved dramatically with multi-core architecture.
Ever since, Mr Joy's RISC (reduced instruction-set computing) processor has been the mainstay of the company's $10 billion server business.
The high processing performance and low power consumption of a parallel-computing processor are accompanied by scalability and flexibility for software implementation.
Neuromorphic computing processors represent a type of non-traditional architecture encompassing evolutionary systems and hold great promise for many important engineering and scientific applications.
STMicroelectronics plans to announce a breakthrough on Monday in light-emitting silicon that could lead to a new generation of more powerful computing processors and more efficient automobile components as well as potentially higher-speed optical data-transmission systems.
