Parallella Epiphany-V 1024-core 64-bit RISC
https://www.parallella.org/2016/10/05/epiphany-v-a-1024-core-64-bit-risc-pro... I am happy to report that we have successfully taped out a 1024-core Epiphany-V RISC processor chip at 16nm. The chip has 4.5 Billion transistors, which is 36% more transistors than Apple’s latest 4 core A10 processor at roughly the same die size. Compared to leading HPC processors, the chip demonstrates an 80x advantage in processor density and a 3.6x advantage in memory density. Epiphany-V Summary: 1024 64-bit RISC processors 64-bit memory architecture 64-bit and 32-bit IEEE floating point support 64 MB of distributed on-chip SRAM 1024 programmable I/O signals Three 136-bit wide 2D mesh NOCs 2052 separate power domains Support for up to One Billion shared memory processors Support for up to One Petabyte of shared memory Binary compatibility with Epiphany III/IV chips Custom ISA extensions for deep learning, communication, and cryptography TSMC 16FF process 4.56 Billion transistors, 117mm^2 silicon area DARPA funded

Cool. So it can be safely used for crypto by western democrats fighting against the evil chinese.

These are DSP (TigerSHARC like) cores with 128 kbyte embedded memory on a 2d torus signalling grid. Not good for standard crypto, good for scientific computing and gaming physics acceleration. I have the prior board http://www.parallella.org/buy/ and it's not bad at all. My version needs active ventilation though.

The chip has 4.5 Billion transistors, which is 36% more transistors than Apple’s latest 4 core A10 processor at roughly the same die size I am very impressed. I can recall, when I worked for Intel for a couple years starting 1980, that the typical linewidth was about 3 microns, or about a factor of 200 larger than 16 nm! I wonder how the lithography is done. Is it EUV? (extreme ultraviolet) Jim Bell
