High Performance Computing - The Battle Royale - Part 1.5
Posted by Harshal Hayatnagarkar on Monday, August 20, 2007
Just few seconds back I came across a news. Hence this post.
The news says that Tilera Corporation has unveiled ‘TILE64‘ - a 64-core processor. Each core is a fully featured processor with its own L1/L2 caches.
“You lay out these cores much like you do tiles on a floor. By 2014, you will see a 1,000-core chip coming out.” - Dr. Anant Agarwal
Complete specs can be found here.
As of now I do not know whether it supports x86 and x86-64 applications.
It seems we are quite there, about which I am going to talk in next few posts: Future is Commodity Supercomputing.
Meanwhile, read the interview of Dr. Anant Agarwal.
