MIT is working on a 110-core power-efficient processor.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is developing a 110-core processor.

They announced it during the Hot Chips conference that is being held at Stanford university. 

 

The experimental chip focuses on decreasing internal traffic on the CPU, this is achieved by replacing the cache with a shared memory pool.

The CPU also has the ability to predict data movement which reduces the number of required cycles for data movement.

The researchers have seen up to 14 times the reduction in on-chip traffic, which significantly reduces power dissipation.

 

AMD and Intel are no longer working on very high core count CPU's because of the high data overhead they create, this new development should tackle that problem.

What needs 110 cores....

 

What could not be improved my 110 cores?? More cores = more better

oh and The Witcher 5

Wow. I guess this means we'll have power-efficient, super-powerful servers in the future?

We call a 110 core processor a GPU.

 

Not in this case: 

"The chip is a general purpose processor and not an accelerator like a graphics processor."

Imagine the performance of Planetside 2 or Arma 3 on this processor. These games only use about 1 and a half of a core. I bet less than 1 frame per second. Terrible idea unless it's for server applications.

I'd still call it a GPU, Xeon Phi is a general purpose processor as well.

 

I'm assuming that you are meaning 'General Processing Unit' and not 'Graphics Processing Unit' when you say GPU in this sense? This is a little confusing as this is - I guess they'd call it - a GPCPU but that doesn't sound right. And it's not a GPGPU because it's a CPU.

 

I've confused myself!!!!

... (almosr) any task can be optimised for multi core cpus, just because an application now isn t optimised, doesn t mean all game that will ever be made will be the same.

right now it s only a project so it s normal that fewer applications are made for it, but if ever it is mass produced and becomes mainstrem, appkications will be made for it.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

How long have we had multi-core CPU's yet software developers keep throwing out single core CPU applications in 32bit OS. If this CPU ever does get released I doubt it will ever get any software out of server applications.

the time frame for this doesn t matter at all, it s only a project atm, it won t be released for 20 yeaars, and of course at launch there will only be server applications for it.

only if it does go mainstream will there be commons applications made for it after that. This isn t happening any time soon, but the potential is there.

It will come 100% sooner then 20 Years in 20 Years we will already be at the End of Silicon.

what they re devellopping inst only a silicon die, it s a new cpu architecture optimised for multi cores, it could be made of graphene or what ever later on...
