KiloCore; If you have to stop being interested in hardware changes on today's personal gadgets, you probably will not be able to overlook the following news.
Maybe it seems to you that it doesn't matter so much lately as all the new hardware is high tech. But if you work on complex projects such as encryption, you'll need all the power from the system resources you can get your hands on.
Αυτός είναι ο λόγος για τον οποίο μια ομάδα ερευνητών στο University of California Davis σχεδίασε ένα μικροτσίπ με 1.000 processors that each of them can operate independently. It's called KiloCore.
The chip is able to process 1780000000000 commands per second, which makes the team believe that they created the highest clock-rate processor ever designed at a university. IBM had built one using an older 32nm CMOS than the one using modern UC chips.
Because each processor can run on its own and stop when not in use, KiloCore can use it energy τόσο αποτελεσματικά ώστε μπορεί να τροφοδοτείται από μια μπαταρία ΑΑ. Οι ερευνητές του UC αναφέρουν ότι το chip τους, τρέχει εντολές πάνω από 100 φορές πιο αποτελεσματικά από ό, τι ένας σύγχρονος επεξεργαστής laptop.
Where can 1.000 cores be used anyway? Consider video editing, encryption functions and scientific manipulation data. No, you can't borrow it to play DOOM in 4K.
