The first smart diversity calculator

The Monarch processor has the ability to transform into different forms depending on the application it is executing.

For example, Monarch can reconfigure itself into a graphics processing chip if the system is running a graphics program. The chip was developed by Raytheon (USA) to process huge amounts of information from sensor systems, in accordance with the requirements of the US Department of Defense in reducing the number of necessary processors.

" Typically, each chip is designed to perform only one task, such as receiving input signals or for processing data. Monarch is the only system that can change itself to suit. The process works to optimize information processing, so it can calculate and analyze large data streams while saving energy , "said Nick Uros, Raytheon deputy director.

Each Monarch chip contains 6 64 gigaflop processors. In addition to the ability to self-adjust the structure, Monarch is also the least power-consuming product available today. In the lab, it achieves up to 10 times higher performance than Intel's 4-core Xeon chip.

Monarch will be equipped for small-sized devices that can withstand radiation such as global positioning systems, space radars .
