GPUs: Not just for graphics anymore
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are special processors that can rapidly process repetitive computations. GPUs were originally designed for rendering performance-hungry display graphics to take excess load off of CPUs. GPUs can be characterized by extremely fast computing power, especially in repetitive computations. Within the past decade, GPUs are increasingly used in applications that require […]
Riding a secure IoT wave
What’s been called the Third Wave of Computing — IoT — probably feels more like a tidal wave to the multitude of hardware, software, cloud, and other IoT-related manufacturers and service providers. That is, in part, because riding that wave is a lack of interoperability, ecosystem immaturity, data privacy, time-to-market, multiple technology choices, and the […]
