Hello, all.
I am not sure is it suitable or not that I ask this question here.
My question is about "Tilera", a new multi-core processor provider, however,
they call themselves "Many-Core" to separate from RMI, Cavium, etc.
Tilera claims that their processor have a 2D mesh so they can put more
Cores(from 36,64 to 1K) in one Chip, while Cavium only with 1D bus, so
Tilera think they have a much higher performance.
My question is:
1 Is it true that Tilera revolutionarily improve the performance of
multi-core(or Many-core) processor?
2 If you make the choice between Tilera and Cavium, what do you prefer? Why?
Devin.
BTW, its website is http://www.tilera.com/
