This paper surveys modern parallel SAT-solvers. It focusses on recent successful techniques and points out weaknesses that have to be overcome to exploit the full power of modern multi-core processors.

This study presents a single-core and a multi-core processor architecture for health monitoring systems where slow biosignal events and highly parallel computations exist. The single-core architecture is composed of a processing core (PC), an instruction memory (IM) and a data memory (DM), while the multi-core architecture consists of PCs, individual IMs for each core, a shared DM and an interc...

Recent embedded processors become to be multi-cored, due to the increased power consumption by higher operating frequencies. Multi-core processors stimulate applications to be parallelized. Since general purpose CPU has small number of core, which is optimized for serial processing, it has a limitation of parallel processing. To overcome this limitation, GPU is used for the parallel processing....

The Service-oriented Router (SoR), a highly functional router based on a novel router architecture, enables unprecedented web services traditional routers were unable to provide. The SoR performs Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to analyze Layer 7 information, which is becoming increasingly difficult due to the substantial increase in Internet traffic. Meanwhile, multi-core processors and general-p...

The upcoming generation of computer hardware poses several new challenges for database developers and engineers. Software in general and database management systems (DBMSs) in particular will no longer benefit from performance gains of future hardware due to increase clock speed, as it was the case for the last 35 years; instead, the number of cores per CPU will increase steadily. Today’s appro...

Space missions have a growing interest in putting multi-core processors onboard spacecraft. For many missions processing power significantly slows operations. We investigate how continual planning and scheduling algorithms can exploit multi-core processing and outline different potential design decisions for a parallelized planning architecture. This organization of choices and challenges helps...

Multi-core architecture is established on a number of processors and has local caches (memories). When all the mandatory actions of a computer are executed on a processor which has more than one core to execute, its processor is known as multi core architecture. Multi-core processing is used to make tasks energy efficient, augment their performance and to make multiple tasks run concurrently in...
