Quarter long team project that entails designing a processor for a complete Instruction Set. Involves ISA design, design of components, datapath and control for a pipelined processor to implement 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 ...

Chip startup Efficient Computer Corp. exited stealth mode in 2024 with a $16 million seed funding round with the announcement of its first computer processor, the E0 system-on-chip (SoC) for ...

We have been following D-Wave’s claims about its quantum hardware at Ars for a number of years. Over that time, my impression has oscillated between skepticism, strong skepticism, and mild enthusiasm.

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SiFive, Inc., the leading provider of commercial RISC-V processor IP and silicon solutions, today announced that Dr. Yunsup Lee, CTO of SiFive, and Dr. Krste ...

Micron is challenging conventional computer architectures conceived decades ago with Automata, a highly parallel processor that can change its behavior to process the task at hand. The Automata ...

The first generation of quantum computers are on the horizon, fabricated from quantum hardware platforms that may soon be able to tackle certain tasks that cannot be performed or modelled with ...

Why this new architecture was the best thing at CES 2026. What is a dataflow architecture? Why Efficient Computer’s Electron E1 processor design is so radical. How the Electron E1 is able to be so ...

Rigetti Computing Inc. believes it has cracked the challenge of scaling quantum computer systems with an entirely new approach that’s based on a modular architecture. The company is one of a number of ...
