  • MIT Puts 36-Core Internet on a Chip | EE Times

    Today many different interconnection topologies are used for multicore chips. For as few as eight cores direct bus connections can be made — cores taking turns using the same bus. MIT’s 36-core processors, on the other hand, are connected by an on-chip mesh network reminiscent of Intel’s 2007 Teraflop Research Chip — code-named Polaris —…

  • Tilera preps many-cored Gx chips for March launch • The Register

    “Were here today shipping a 64-bit processor core and we are what looks like two years ahead of ARM,” says Bishara. “The architecture of the Tile-Gx is aligned to the workload and gives one server node per chip rather than a sea of wimpy nodes not acting in a cache coherent manner. We have been…

  • Tilera | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com

    Tilera’s roadmap calls for its next generation of processors, code-named Stratton, to be released in 2013. The product line will expand the number of processors in both directions, down to as few as four and up to as many as 200 cores. The company is going from a 40-nm to a 28-nm process, meaning they’re…

  • Intel Responds to Calxeda/HP ARM Server News (Wired.com)

    Wired.com isn’t the best at following the Cloud Data Industry. In fact at least they partially want to keep their advertisers happy so they will publish a Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt raising response direct from an Intel PR Engineer. Happily the Intel folks aren’t even fully aware of what people are doing with their SeaMicro…

  • Rise of the Multi-Core Mesh Munchkins: Adapteva Announces New Epiphany Processor – HotHardware

    It seems like massive scale multi-core cpus are increasing in popularity. A third party competitor is entering the market with a mobile cpu co-processor. Adapteva is announcing the Epiphany co-processor, but the question is really what’s it good at, and who is going to integrate it into a new phone design. Read On:

  • Tilera routs Intel, AMD in Facebook bakeoff • The Register

    One of the more radical departures from of the off the shelf commodity data centers built on Intel is the Quanta SQ-2. Based on the Tilera chip, it has multiple cores (many more than an equivalent Intel Architecture) and uses a mesh network on chip to speed communications between the cores. It’s been a long,…

  • SeaMicro pushes Atom smasher to 768 cores in 10U box • The Register

    Seamicro just keeps cranking out new product. They are like the Apple of the massively parallel cloud computer in a box segment of the industry. They just recently moved from old style x86 32bit Intel Atom CPUs to fully x64 capable cpus. And now the increased the density of the cpus on each compute node…

  • Tilera throws gauntlet at Intels feet • The Register

    I still have great hopes for Tilera in the data center cloud market place. But the only real competition out there now is Seamicro’s own SM-10000×64 which is tearing up the charts with Intel’s Atom N570. Once Tilera is able to ship its chips in volume and get manufacturers to start building servers with Tilera…

  • Tilera preps 100-core chips for network gear • The Register

    What darkness lurks in the hearts of men? Only the shadow knows right? Or possibly a Tilera Chip sitting in an NSA data skimming operation located at your local Internet GigaPOP.

  • Facebook: No ‘definite plans’ to ARM data centers • The Register

    After Facebook’s presentation at the Open Compute Day, I got to thinking more about other competitors in the market for the low energy consumption data center. And while everyone including Google remain loyal to Intel, the smaller upstarts have an opportunity to raise their marginal return if they choose wisely. I say this in part…
