There's been plenty of "multi-dimensional" processor interconnects over the years. You should do some further research. :) Adrian (hypercube-connected O2000, anyone?) On Tue, Jul 06, 2010, ?????? wrote:
Hello, all.
I am not sure is it suitable or not that I ask this question here.
My question is about "Tilera", a new multi-core processor provider, however, they call themselves "Many-Core" to separate from RMI, Cavium, etc.
Tilera claims that their processor have a 2D mesh so they can put more Cores(from 36,64 to 1K) in one Chip, while Cavium only with 1D bus, so Tilera think they have a much higher performance.
My question is: 1 Is it true that Tilera revolutionarily improve the performance of multi-core(or Many-core) processor? 2 If you make the choice between Tilera and Cavium, what do you prefer? Why?
Devin.
