Kilocore

Kilocore

Kilocore, from Rapport Inc. and IBM, is a high-performance, low-power multi-core processor, with 1025 cores. It contains a single PowerPC processing core, and 1024 8-bit Processing Elements running at 125 MHz each, which can be dynamically reconfigured, connected by a shared interconnect. It allows high performance parallel processing.

Rapport's first product to market is the KC256, with 256 8-bit processing elements. The KC256 started shipping in 2006 [http://www.rapportincorporated.com/aboutus/background.html] . The elements are grouped in 16 "stripes" of 16 processing elements each, with each stripe able to be dedicated to a particular task.

The "thousand core" products are the KC1024 and KC1025, due in 2008. Both have 1024 8-bit processing elements, in a 32 x 32-stripe configuration. The KC1025 has the PowerPC CPU, while the KC1024 has processing elements only.
