New research could be adopted by manufacturers, including Intel, with a broad-reaching impact on data centers and cloud computing
May 5, 2025
Imagine trying to write a research paper while simultaneously answering phones at a call center. Multi-tasking with intermittent interruptions could short circuit the human brain. But do computer central processing units (CPUs) fare better?
A joint team of computer scientists from the University of California San Diego and Purdue University took an in-depth look at how well CPUs can coordinate valuable computational work with incoming requests and proposed a practical method to carry out parallel tasks with speed and efficiency.
