However, vector instructions also have some drawbacks that limit their applicability and effectiveness for parallel computing. One of the main drawbacks is that they require specialized hardware ...

A collection of vector systems hooked together to work in parallel is the foundation of the Earth Simulator, an NEC machine that since 2002 has topped a list of the 500 fastest computers.

Abstract: Vector polygon overlay is a complex type of a geo-spatial analysis algorithm used in geographical information system, which requires increasingly higher computational efficiency given the ...

Until the late 1990s, the concept of a 3D accelerator card was something generally associated with high-end workstations. Video games and kin would run happily on the CPU in one’s desktop sys… ...

Photovoltaic (PV) arrays connected in Series-Parallel (SP) configuration are widely used in PV installations of different power levels. Accurate and low calculation time models of SP arrays are ...
