How multiple cores are improving data processing efficiency |
12/07/2010
|
| Multiple cores on a chip is no longer deemed a novel way to boost computational performance. Chip firms recognise that using multiple cpus in parallel gives a better return than complex architectural tweaks to the cpu itself. By doing so, each elemental core can be tailored in terms of chip area

How new coding approach helps optical systems to hit 100Gbit/s |
24/05/2010
|
| There are several reasons why engineers are working harder when designing high capacity optical systems – higher data rates mean fewer photons per optical pulse and there is greater signal dispersion. Adding to the challenge, service providers want the reach of 40 and 100Gbit/s systems to match
