Tilera

Tilera


Tilera offers high-performance multicore processors targeting embedded networking, security, and multimedia-processing applications. The Tile processor family targets applications requiring intensive packet processing for layers 2 through 7 and for HD (high-definition)-video applications. The Tile64 processor SoC (system on chip) has 64 full-featured processor cores plus a rich suite of system-integration blocks. The device includes 5 Mbytes of cache, and each processor core can independently run a full operating system, such as Linux. Tilera based the Tile64 family on a tiled multicore architecture with a mesh-based on-chip interconnect. The mesh architecture delivers as much as 32 Tbps of interconnect bandwidth between the cores and allows scaling the architecture be-yond hundreds of cores.
