  • Research
Grenoble-based engineers from CEA-List have more than doubled the speed of a matrix multiplication program using a new dynamic compilation method. This method, designed specifically for multi-core processors, works by optimizing the execution of the most calculation-intensive sections of code. It offers an attractive alternative to static compilation, which optimizes the overall code using conservative […] >>

  • Research
Locating an object to within just a few centimeters sounds easy—except when you are over 3.6 km away. But that’s what French start-up BeSpoon was able to do using impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) technology developed by Leti. This range of 3,641 meters sets a world record based on emergency situation UWB regulations; the range based […] >>
