Serial computing is dead, and the parallel computing revolution has begun: Are you part of the solution, or part of the problem? That was the question posed by Dave Patterson, head of the Parallel Computing Laboratory at UC Berkeley, during his keynote address at the Usenix conference in Boston on June 26.

In the not too distant future, we can expect to see our skies filled with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) delivering packages, maybe even people, from location to location. In such a world, there will also be a digital twin for each UAV in the fleet: a virtual model that will follow the UAV through its existence, evolving with time. Read more…
