A serial-to-parallel shift register (or SIPO: Serial In Parallel Out) lets you take a sequence of signals on one output, and split them up into several separate outputs. For example, if you don’t have enough GPIO pins on your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or other computer/microcontroller, you can use a shift register to add more. In […]

Ten months ago, the chipmaker Adapteva unveiled a bold quest—to create a Raspberry Pi-sized computer that can perform the same types of tasks typically reserved for supercomputers. And… they wanted to sell it for only $99. A successful Kickstarter project raised nearly $900,000 for the so-called “Parallella,” and the company got to work with a

An Operating System requires numerous tasks to be performed at the same time. The ‘Parallel Processing’ is the term which refers to the technique of executing many tasks at the same time. However actual parallel processing is not possible in commonly available computers, but they can simulate such an effect by high speed switching of
