The transition from silicon to wide-bandgap semiconductors (gallium nitride, silicon carbide, and others) significantly boosts operating frequencies and enhances the efficiency of solutions. Therefore, one of the promising application areas for wide-bandgap chips and transistors is communications and radar. Electronics based on GaN solutions provide power increases and extended radar range, which have been quickly utilized […]
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University has proposed a set of patches for discussion among Linux kernel developers, introducing the Popcorn (Distributed Thread Execution) system for distributed thread execution. This system allows applications to run across multiple computers with seamless migration of threads between hosts. Using Popcorn, applications can start on one host and be moved to another without interrupting their operation. […]
