Scientists from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have made a chip called Swarm, said to make parallel projects more proficient  and easier to write.

In recreations, the scientists looked at Swarm variants of six basic algorithms with the best existing parallel versions, which had been exclusively designed. Swarm forms were observed to be up to 18 times speedier, however for the most part required just 10% of the code. Not just that, Swarm speeded one system PC researchers had neglected to parallelise by a factors of 75.

“Multicore frameworks are truly difficult to program,” says Daniel Sanchez, a MIT asst professor who led the task. “You need to unequivocally partition the work that you’re doing into tasks, then you have to implement some synchronization between assignments getting to shared data. What this architecture does, basically, is to evacuate a wide range of express synchronization to make parallel programming easier.
