Worth noting that the GreenArrays chip is 15 years old. 144 cores was a BIG DEAL back then. I wonder what a similar architecture compiled with a modern process could achieve. 1440 cores? More?
- markhahn 2y agothose weren't "real" cores. you know what current chip has FUs that it falsely calls "cores"? that's right, Nvidia GPUs. I think that's the answer to your question (pushing 20k).
- adastra22 2y agoIn what way were they not “real” cores? They had their own operating environment completely independent of other cores. GPU execution units on the other hand are SIMD--a single instruction stream.
- orbat 2y agoHow are GA144's nodes / "computers" not real cores? They're fully independent, each has its own memory (RAM and ROM), stacks, and registers, its own I/O ports and GPIO pins (some of them), and so on. https://www.greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/PB003-110412-F18A.pdf https://www.greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/PB003-11...
