In an effort to improve the performance of mobile devices, computers and servers, Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a 110-core microchip.
The processor, dubbed the “Execution Migration Machine”, tries to identify opportunities to reduce data exchange inside chip, which allows for faster and more energy-efficient computing. The chip itself is a general-purpose processor and not is an accelerator like a graphics processor.
Typically, most communication takes place between cores and cache, and a 110-core chip replaces the cache with a shared memory pool, which allows you to reduce the number of channels of exchange. Chip also able to predict data movement trends, which in its queue reduces the number of cycles required for transmission and information processing.
According to chip developers, the benefits of energy-efficient data exchange can be applied to mobile devices and databases data. For example, reducing internal info traffic will allow mobile devices to efficiently handle high-capacity applications like video while saving energy. It will also allow reduce the amount of information transmitted by the device through network.
