Building a simple 8-bit computer is a great way to understand computing fundamentals, but there’s only so much you can learn by building a system around an existing processor. If you want to learn ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

Memory safety in C can be summed up in a few words: there isn’t any! C is the most popular programming language used to write applications for embedded systems, particularly microcontroller-based ...

Erm. Well. There are a lot of possible answers to that. Some points:<BR><BR>1. Java is generally compiled to bytecode, which is then interpreted at run-time. (There are exceptions, and some ...

Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...
