Engineers have created a 110-core mobile processor
110-core processor has been developed by engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who say that the new chip - is an updated look at the energy efficiency and productivity growth in mobile devices, PCs and servers. new chip called Execution Migraine Machine its peculiarity is that it defines ways to reduce the load on the CPU and allows for faster computation and more energy-efficient manner. About novelty was told at the ongoing conference in California Hot Chips. Developers say that the new chip - is a general purpose processor, it is not a chip accelerator or a type of graphics processor, but so far this chip, of course, is an experimental design.
"This is just a completely experimental model for Christmas you will not find it in the stores," - say the creators. Typically, the work on the transfer of large amounts of data between cores and cache memory - it is quite costly for the system of occupation, so the 110-core processor refuses from the cache memory in the usual sense of the word and replaces it with a pool of shared memory management, which can reduce the amount of data transfer.
Also, there is applied a number of engineering projects, through which the processor itself in fewer clock cycles to process large amounts of data. In addition to this, another brand development is a system of predicting the branching data, which allows the processor to predict what will be the upcoming data packet and plan ahead for his treatment.
"We believe that the benefits of solutions to reduce the amounts of computation must eventually be needed in a mobile environment and the environment for working with databases. Lower costs from the processor to handle large amounts of data - it is also the release of system resources and saving battery power, "- say the creators of solutions. chip makers have gone to any questions regarding the performance of the processor compared to competitors, but said that according to their internal testing, the new chip can achieve a 14-fold reduction measures in the processing of operational data, resulting in significant energy savings. Structurally, the chip is a square matrix in which all 110 cores combined with each interconnect. Also, the developers say that the chip design allows for customization to the needs of some kontretnogo consumer or producer. physical size of the chip - only 1 cm2, he created on 45-nanometer technology normal.
