How to Count Cores
posted by Anwar Ghuloum (葛安华) on August 11, 2008 at Research@Intel
One of the most abused terms today is “core count”. Depending on who you ask, a core might mean a full-fledged IA Core (e.g. a Core 2), or it might mean something substantially less…like a small processing element with an...

Unwelcome Advice
posted by Anwar Ghuloum (葛安华) on June 30, 2008 at Research@Intel
Generally speaking, you don’t want to deliver any kind of difficult news to customers, partners, etc. Some of us are lucky enough to talk to folks about the performance and capabilities of our processors, shipping and soon-to-ship. Some of us,...

Yimin Zhang on Why do we need many-core?
posted by Guest Blogger on March 31, 2008 at Research@Intel
Now we are already in a Multi-core era, dual-core has become mainstream, and some people even have Quad-core CPUs in their desktop PC. But some people still are are not clear if, in the future more cores will benefit them,...

Backward Compatibility ≠ Forward Scalability?
posted by Anwar Ghuloum (葛安华) on March 06, 2008 at Research@Intel
One of the constants valued by our developers is the backward compatibility provided by our architectures in the form of a consistent ISA. Historically, a corollary of this has been that legacy software has benefited from process and micro-architectural improvement....

The Problem(s) with GPGPU
posted by Anwar Ghuloum (葛安华) on October 18, 2007 at Research@Intel
Hundreds of GigaFLOPs are available in your PC today….in fact, you might even have a TeraFLOP in there. As someone who cut his teeth on a Cray C90 (15 GFLOPS max), this is an intriguing opportunity to dabble; for the...

Making “virtual” more real
posted by Jerry Bautista on September 10, 2007 at Research@Intel
Within the Intel labs we were shocked by the public reaction to our 80 core disclosure last spring. The interest level was astounding, but after the initial discussions (around core type, how they were arranged/interconnected, power vs. teraflops, and the...

Groundhog Day: A Personal Perspective on Multi-core Computing
posted by Anwar Ghuloum (葛安华) on July 27, 2007 at Research@Intel
In the 1993 comedy “Groundhog Day”, Bill Murray finds himself reliving the same (eponymous) day again and again until he mends his ways and becomes a better person. Nearly twenty years ago, when I entered graduate school, parallel computing was...

Inside an 80-core chip: the on-chip communication and memory bandwidth solutions
posted by 杜江凌 (John Du) on July 17, 2007 at Research@Intel
By John Du, reposted from our Chinese language blog. Here I would like to discuss about some hot technical topics. About tera-scale, some readers of the Chinese blog made comments about the communication and the memory bandwidth solutions. I would...

What would you do with 80 cores?
posted by Sean Koehl on July 10, 2007 at Research@Intel
When talking to folks about tera-scale computing research or the 80-core research chip, the question inevitably arises as to what general users would really be able to do with “supercomputer-level” performance in a desktop, let alone a mobile device. And...
