  2. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    In semiconductor devices, parasitic structures, irrelevant for normal operation, become important in the context of failures; they can be both a source and protection against failure. Applications such as aerospace systems, life support systems, telecommunications, railway signals, and computers use great numbers of individual electronic ...

  3. Embarrassingly parallel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarrassingly_parallel

    "Embarrassingly" is used here to refer to parallelization problems which are "embarrassingly easy". [4] The term may imply embarrassment on the part of developers or compilers: "Because so many important problems remain unsolved mainly due to their intrinsic computational complexity, it would be embarrassing not to develop parallel implementations of polynomial homotopy continuation methods."

  4. Hazard (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_(computer_architecture)

    In the domain of central processing unit (CPU) design, hazards are problems with the instruction pipeline in CPU microarchitectures when the next instruction cannot execute in the following clock cycle, [1] and can potentially lead to incorrect computation results. Three common types of hazards are data hazards, structural hazards, and control ...

  5. Instruction pipelining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_pipelining

    In computer engineering, instruction pipelining is a technique for implementing instruction-level parallelism within a single processor. Pipelining attempts to keep every part of the processor busy with some instruction by dividing incoming instructions into a series of sequential steps (the eponymous "pipeline") performed by different processor units with different parts of instructions ...

  6. Instruction-level parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction-level_parallelism

    Atanasoff–Berry computer, the first computer with parallel processing [1] Instruction-level parallelism (ILP) is the parallel or simultaneous execution of a sequence of instructions in a computer program. More specifically, ILP refers to the average number of instructions run per step of this parallel execution. [2]: 5

  7. Explicitly parallel instruction computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicitly_parallel...

    Explicitly parallel instruction computing (EPIC) is a term coined in 1997 by the HP–Intel alliance [1] to describe a computing paradigm that researchers had been investigating since the early 1980s. [2] This paradigm is also called Independence architectures.

  8. Task parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_parallelism

    Task parallelism (also known as function parallelism and control parallelism) is a form of parallelization of computer code across multiple processors in parallel computing environments. Task parallelism focuses on distributing tasks —concurrently performed by processes or threads —across different processors.

  9. Parallel processing (DSP implementation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_Processing_(DSP...

    In digital signal processing (DSP), parallel processing is a technique duplicating function units to operate different tasks (signals) simultaneously. [1] Accordingly, we can perform the same processing for different signals on the corresponding duplicated function units.
