Tilera Corporation<\/a> has announced its new TILE-Gx family of general purpose processors. One of the four new products is a world first – a 100-core processor, the TILE-Gx100.<\/p>\n

The processors are fabricated in a 40 nanometre process and operate at up to 1.5 GHz with power consumption ranging from 10 to 55 watts. The TILE-Gx series boasts a performance-per-watt level that is ten times better in compute efficiency when compared to Intel’s next generation Westmere processor.<\/p>\n

The TILE-Gx range is available with 16, 36, 64 and 100 cores. Tilera’s two-dimensional iMesh interconnect eliminates the need for an on-chip bus and its Dynamic Distributed Cache (DDC) system allows each cores’ local cache to be shared across the entire chip.<\/p>\n

These two key technologies enable the TILE Architecture performance to scale linearly with the number of cores on the chip – a feat that is currently unmatched.<\/p>\n

To simplify many-core programming, Tilera has developed its own Multicore Development Environment (MDE).<\/p>\n

“The launch of the TILE-Gx family, including the world’s first 100-core microprocessor, ushers in a new era of many-core processing. We believe this next generation of high-core count, ultra high performance chips will open completely new computing possibilities,” said Omid Tahernia, Tilera’s CEO.<\/p>\n

“Customers will be able to replace an entire board presently using a dozen or more chips with just one of our TILE-Gx processors, greatly simplifying the system architecture and resulting in reduced cost, power consumption, and PC board area. This is truly a remarkable technology achievement,” Tahernia concluded.<\/p>\n

“At various points in microprocessor history there have been breakthroughs that have enabled significant advances in computing, such as when the barrier of single-core clock speed was overcome by the introduction of multicore,” said Sergis Mushell, principal research analyst at Gartner.<\/p>\n

“Cloud computing and virtualization have ushered in a new era of processing power optimization and utilization, which has accelerated the roadmaps for multicore architectures and changed the paradigm from a clock frequency discussion of the past to a new discussion about number of cores and core optimization,” Mushell concluded.<\/p>\n
