His videos set off a huge debate about why it seems that modern personal computers often appear slower than machines of the past. After going through plenty of plausible scenarios for what is ...

While quantum computers hold glorious promise in years ahead, conventional computers will remain far superior for the ...

Modern computers are a triumph of technology. A single computer chip contains billions of nanometre-scaled transistors that operate extremely reliably and at a rate of millions of operations per ...

Microsoft Corp. announced its first quantum computing chip, a major step in the company’s effort to produce devices that might someday solve problems beyond the reach of modern computers. The ...

This course has four purposes: (1) to learn about the hierarchy of abstractions and implementations that comprise a modern computer system; (2) to demystify the machine and the tools that we use to ...

We will discuss some of the constraints that limit the design and programmability of modern processors, and promising techniques to mitigate these constraints. As such, we will draw material from ...
