48 核微处理器... 接下来会是什么? - 量子计算?

Bob Porras' Blog | /Sun | December 22, 03:55 AM PST | By Jun-Hui Paul Duan

英特尔通过 Nehalem 微处理器推出了一个先进的架构。尽管该架构现在将芯片限制在 8 个处理内核,但是英特尔凭借更为大胆的想法正在研制更先进的微处理器。业内一些人构想的 48 核处理器(见左图)可以在一天内扩展到 100 多个内核,这种想法很吸引人。过去我进行大型 SMP 服务器开发时,单核时钟频率是推动计算性能提升的主要因素。然后,正如所料,进入二十一世纪后的几年中,技术发展开始受到自然法则的限制。提高时钟频率不 可行了。但是扩展问题现在可以通过构建多核架构解决了。换句话说,在单个可供软件寻址的...

48 コアのマイクロプロセッサ...次は何 ? 量子コンピューティング ?

Bob Porras' Blog | /Sun | December 22, 03:54 AM PST | By Jun-Hui Paul Duan

Intel は Nehalem マイクロプロセッサで優れた技術を見せました。現在のアーキテクチャー上、チップの処理コアは 8 つが上限ですが、Intel はこれよりも大きなビジョンを抱きながら研究開発を進めています。業界の一部の人は、48 コアのプロセッサ (左の写真参照) を 100 以上のコアにスケールできると考えていますが、非常に印象的です。以前、私が巨大な SMP サーバーの導入をしていたときは、シングルコアのクロック速度が計算能力を決定する大きな要因でした。その後、予測されていたとおり、21 ...
