Seems very similar to Larrabee.
- corysama 16y ago"48 Pentium-class IA-32 cores". It is Larrabee (or some branch of it). The most interesting feature of Larrabee that is not mentioned in the article was the 16-way scatter-gather memory operations. That feature made the 16x32bit SIMD operations much more practical to use. If you could manage to set up large blocks of mostly branchless work, you could get an effective 48*16=768 way parallelism. Not good for running interpreters, but very good for math and data crunching.
- wmf 16y agoNo, SCC is quite different from Larrabee; it uses a mesh instead of a ring, lacks the vector unit, lacks cache coherence, etc.
