Software Breakthrough Holds Promise for Doubling Device Speeds Without Hardware Upgrades
• New research shows promise for doubling computing speeds without hardware upgrades, through software optimization
• Method utilizes multiple processors (CPU, GPU, TPU) in parallel to improve efficiency
• Test system saw 1.95x speed increase and 51% less energy use
• Still early research with challenges around coordinating different processors and data flows
• If limitations can be addressed, big potential to boost performance and cut power needs for phones, laptops, etc.
