256 core processor ‘functional and running’
Fabless French chip developer Kalray says the first batch of its MPPA-256 processor is 'functional and running'.
The processor, manufactured on a 28nm process, is targeted at high performance, low power embedded applications.
The company will demonstrate the chip at the forthcoming HiPEAC conference in Berlin.
It says it will show a series of applications running on the device, including: real time professional video preprocessing and encoding; high performance cryptography; signal processing; and augmented reality.
The processor, which has 256 cores, is said to have a performance of 700 GOPS and 230GFlops.
