Japan introduced a chip containing 512 cores
Researchers at the University of Tokyo successfully built a multi-core chip, clocked at 500 MHz, and were able to perform 512 billion floating-point operations per second.
This chip named Grape DR is designed for PCI-X cards and is a standby product for the server system CPU. 512 cores are divided into 16 groups and each group will undertake a specific mathematical command such as addition or floating point multiplication.
The chip measures 17 x 17 mm, contains 300 million transistors and consumes power at 60 watts.
Tokyo University began studying Grape DR since 2004 and they hope to design the product in 2008 with the ability to perform 2 million billion calculations per second (2 petaflops - Pflop).
