Interesting architecture but the amount of information available publically is limited? For example, I was trying to find out if it will be suitable for parallel floating point workloads but I don't see any mention of floating point performance on the company webpage. Would also be nice to see some benchmark numbers done by a 3rd party. Never believe what the vendors say about their own products.
- oconnor0 17y agoThe Register's article on this chip (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/10/26/tilera_third_gen_mesh_chips/print.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/10/26/tilera_third_gen_mes...) makes it sound like there is no FP support.
- wmf 17y agoSemiAccurate says 50 GFLOPS per chip; that's pretty weak at only 500 MFLOPS per core. Sandy Bridge will probably beat it for floating point. I saw a presentation somewhere of Erlang scaling up to 64 cores on Tilera, but besides that it's very short on benchmarks.
- codedivine 17y agoGiven the comment below linking to the register article mentioning no floating point units on chip, maybe they are emulating FP in software giving the lowly number.
