This very powerful and versatile chip consists of an 18x8 array of architecturally identical, independent, complete F18A computers, or nodes, each of which operates asynchronously. Each computer is capable of performing a basic ALU instruction in approx. 1.5 nanoseconds for an energy cost on the order of 7 picojoules. Nothing else available today comes close to that winning combination. Twenty-two of the computers on the edges of the array have one or more I/O pins and one of several classes of circuitry associated with them, as illustrated below. http://www.greenarrays.com/home/documents/greg/PB001-100503-GA144-1-10.pdf http://www.greenarrays.com/home/documents/greg/PB001-100503-... [pdf] About the mentioned F18A computer: The F18A is a stable, mature design for a computer and its I/O whose robustness has been proven in many chip configurations. It has been proven in 180nm geometry, and a prototype in 130 nm has also performed well. The computer is small; eight fit in roughly a square millimeter. Depending on chip configurations, this yields between 100,000 and 200,000 computers per 8 inch wafer, contributing to the low cost of our chips. http://greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/PB003-100822-F18A.pdf http://greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/PB003-100822-...
