Tilera launches new generation of multicore embedded chips for communications
- 13ren 18y agoTilera is targeting the chips at high-end networking equipment that would otherwise use digital signal processing chips from Texas Instruments. DSP is a special case, where scaling is easier. Anyone have more details on how general their approach is? EDIT http://www.tilera.com/technology/technology.php http://www.tilera.com/technology/technology.php They address the multi-core hardware bus problem (iMesh/Tile packet switching), but not the multi-core software problem.
