Why 80 X 86? Micro-Computer Applications Dr. Amr Talaat ELECT 707

New view: Cluster. Ona. Chip (Co. C) Micro-Computer Applications Dr. Amr Talaat Ø Use several simple processors on a single chip: Ø Performance goes up linearly in number of transistors Ø Simpler processors can run at faster clocks Ø Less design cost/time, Less time to market risk (reuse) Ø Inspiration: Google Ø Search engine for world: 100 M/day Ø Economical, scalable build block: PC cluster today 8000 PCs, 16000 disks Ø Advantages in fault tolerance, scalability, cost/performance Ø 32 -bit MPU as the new “Transistor” Ø “Cluster on a chip” with 1000 s of processors enable amazing MIPS/$, MIPS/watt for cluster applications Ø MPUs combined with dense memory + system on a chip CAD Ø 30 years ago Intel 4004 used 2300 transistors: when 2300 32 -bit processors on a single chip?
