Multi-core processors - An overview
نویسنده
چکیده
Microprocessors have revolutionized the world we live in and continuous efforts are being made to manufacture not only faster chips but also smarter ones. A number of techniques such as data level parallelism, instruction level parallelism and hyper threading (Intel’s HT) already exists which have dramatically improved the performance of microprocessor cores. [1, 2] This paper briefs on evolution of multi-core processors followed by introducing the technology and its advantages in today’s world. The paper concludes by detailing on the challenges currently faced by multi-core processors and how the industry is trying to address these issues.

Hand Gestures Classification with Multi-Core DTW
Classifications of several gesture types are very helpful in several applications. This paper tries to address fast classifications of hand gestures using DTW over multi-core simple processors. We presented a methodology to distribute templates over multi-cores and then allow parallel execution of the classification. The results were presented to voting algorithm in which the majority vote was ...
متن کاملScheduling Algorithms for Asymmetric Multi-core Processors
— Growing power dissipation due to high performance requirement of processor suggests multicore processor technology, which has become the technology for present and next decade. Research advocates asymmetric multi-core processor system for better utilization of chip real state. However, asymmetric multi core architecture poses a new challenge to operating system scheduler, which traditionally ...
متن کاملSynchroscalar: Evaluation of an embedded, multi-core architecture for media applications
We present an overview of the Synchroscalar single-chip, multi-core processor. Through the design of Synchroscalar, we find that high energy efficiency and low complexity can be attained through parallelization. The importance of adequate inter-core interconnect is also demonstrated. We discuss the impact of having multiple frequency and voltage domains on chip to reduce the power consumption w...
متن کاملEfficient parallelization of the genetic algorithm solution of traveling salesman problem on multi-core and many-core systems
Efficient parallelization of genetic algorithms (GAs) on state-of-the-art multi-threading or many-threading platforms is a challenge due to the difficulty of schedulation of hardware resources regarding the concurrency of threads. In this paper, for resolving the problem, a novel method is proposed, which parallelizes the GA by designing three concurrent kernels, each of which running some depe...
