New international study finds that slower everyday speaking pace and longer pauses may signal early cognitive decline before memory loss, with speech speed outperforming traditional memory checks in predicting decline; using remote gamified tasks across ages 18–85, the research points to processing speed as the key marker, though practical integration into primary care faces technical and demographic hurdles.
A new computing approach called "simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading (SHMT)" could potentially double the processing speed of devices like phones and laptops without replacing any components. This method allows different processing units to work on the same code region simultaneously, resulting in faster performance and 51% less energy consumption in tests. The approach could also reduce hardware costs, carbon emissions, and water usage in data centers, but further research is needed to determine practical implementation and specific use cases.
