[PSP 2007] David Barkai: HPC in the era of multicore, the Intel view
David Barkai is introducing the Intel view about the multicore era already started. He is kicking off reviewing what is coming from Intel. They are currently in 65nm, then 45nm, and 32nm. On the way down they compact the X86 and slowly introducing a new architecture. The change to 45nm also implies the introduction of a new transistor transistor slashing the amount of power required by half. Also, details of the new quad cores lining out in the new 45nm platform. The second half of next year, Intel will also release a new architecture. The numbers: from 1 to 16+ cores per chip. Intel is also involved in working on accelerators for PCIX. Very interesting glance to the future coming. Very interesting challenge to figure out what kind of implementations we should focus on.
