Managing the power consumption of ICs is an increasingly difficult challenge, because each new generation of portable device includes expanded features and demands longer battery lives.

For a useful primer on circuit design, see Optimize your DSPs for power and performance. To learn how power and performance vary with voltage and temperature, see Push performance and power beyond the ...

Asynchronous processors, which function without a global clock, have emerged as a compelling alternative to traditional synchronous architectures. Their design relies on handshake protocols and local ...

Computer architecture researchers evaluate key areas such as pipelining, organization, instruction issue, branching, and exception handling when considering asynchronous and synchronous design and ...

Often, hybrid microservices architecture is overlooked when comparing synchronous and asynchronous communication, but it's an important model to know. Here's how these microservices architectures work ...

Asynchronous services are easier to implement with support of the await and async keywords in WCF 4.5. We look at that, as well as contract-first development. There are performance benefits to using ...

Synchronous vs asynchronous replication: How do they differ with regard to the order of events during data writes? When comparing synchronous vs asynchronous replication, let’s take a scenario where a ...
