Hungarian-born John von Neumann (1903-1957), an internationally renowned mathematician, promoted a theoretical design for a computer in the 1940s. He envisioned the stored program concept, whereby ...

A new computing era arrives with the breakthrough in how computers can sort information. This vital function, at the heart of ...

The Eniac (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was one of the earliest automatic computers. Von Neumann saw that it ...

Just because an invention is no longer practical for many applications does not mean it wasn’t a good invention at the time. My recent article about the von Neumann architecture received some quite ...

There are some problems that are simply too complex for even the most powerful of today’s computers, and researchers are trying to overcome the limits of traditional computer designs to enable ...

Samsung is claiming progress on the ages-old compute-memory bottleneck inherent in the classical von Neumann computing architecture. The company has announced what it said is the industry’s first High ...

After the global pandemic forced Hyperion Research to cancel the April 2020 HPC User Forum planned for Princeton, New Jersey, we decided to reach out to the HPC community in another way — by ...

The cost associated with moving data in and out of memory is becoming prohibitive, both in terms of performance and power, and it is being made worse by the data locality in algorithms, which limits ...

Unconventional computing is computing with novel chemical, living, and physical substrates, achieved by any of a wide range of totally uncommon techniques. While the general theory of computation ...
