Fujitsu, in collaboration with the company LSI a new multicoreprocessor developed which is especially suitable for high-performance computing for example supercomputers. The SPARC64 IXfx cpu has sixteen cores.
According to the two companies is the SPARC64 IXfx processor is manufactured on the basis of a (40 nm) process, reports Xbit. The sixteen cores in SPARC64 IXfx run at a clock speed of 1,848 GHz. Further, the processor with 64KB of L1 cache and 12MB shared L2 cache. Fujitsu and LSI argue that the processor has a computing power of 236,5 gflops can achieve in double precision calculations. The tdp is rated at 110W.
The manufacturers state that the SPARC64 processor is especially suitable for hpc-rekenklussen. So would the cpu in supercomputers can be placed, and he has more than twice as much processing power as its predecessor. When the processor is not exactly available, is not yet known.
