If you are going to build processors with large numbers of cores, argues Anant Agarwal, you have to figure out how to connect them to each other, too.
A decade of research into that problem has resulted in Tilera, Agarwal's company, which has invented a 64-core processor with an embedded high-speed network that can pass up to 32 terabits of data a second between the various cores.
The company's Tile64--designed for networking equipment and video streaming servers--can provide 10 times the performance of an Intel Xeon chip while consuming far less power, or 40 times the performance of a digital signal processor from Texas Instruments, the company says.
