Intel Tera-Scale is a research program by Intel that focuses on development in Intel processors and platforms that utilize the inherent parallelism of emerging visual-computing applications. Such applications require teraFLOPS of parallel computing performance to process terabytes of data quickly. [ 1 ]
POWER9 is a family of superscalar, multithreading, multi-core microprocessors produced by IBM, based on the Power ISA.It was announced in August 2016. [2] The POWER9-based processors are being manufactured using a 14 nm FinFET process, [3] in 12- and 24-core versions, for scale out and scale up applications, [3] and possibly other variations, since the POWER9 architecture is open for licensing ...
Some Xeon Phi processors support four-way hyper-threading, effectively quadrupling the number of threads. [1] Before the Coffee Lake architecture, most Xeon and all desktop and mobile Core i3 and i7 supported hyper-threading while only dual-core mobile i5's supported it.
Amber is an ARM-compatible 32-bit RISC processor. Amber implements the ARMv2 instruction set. LEON, a 32-bit, SPARC-like CPU created by the European Space Agency; OpenPOWER, based on IBM's POWER8 and newer multicore processor designs; OpenSPARC, a series of open-source microprocessors based on the UltraSPARC T1 and UltraSPARC T2 multicore ...
Processor design is a subfield of computer science and computer engineering (fabrication) that deals with creating a processor, a key component of computer hardware.. The design process involves choosing an instruction set and a certain execution paradigm (e.g. VLIW or RISC) and results in a microarchitecture, which might be described in e.g. VHDL or Verilog.
Cell, a shorthand for Cell Broadband Engine Architecture, [a] is a 64-bit multi-core microprocessor and microarchitecture that combines a general-purpose PowerPC core of modest performance with streamlined coprocessing elements [2] which greatly accelerate multimedia and vector processing applications, as well as many other forms of dedicated computation.
Share of processor families in TOP500 supercomputers by year [needs update]. As of June 2022, all supercomputers on TOP500 are 64-bit supercomputers, mostly based on CPUs with the x86-64 instruction set architecture, 384 of which are Intel EMT64-based and 101 of which are AMD AMD64-based, with the latter including the top eight supercomputers. 15 other supercomputers are all based on RISC ...
A domain-specific architecture (DSA) is a programmable computer architecture specifically tailored to operate very efficiently within the confines of a given application domain. The term is often used in contrast to general-purpose architectures, such as CPUs, that are designed to operate on any computer program. [1]
