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 Appleā€™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
