Intel microprocessor TeraScale Processor is designed under Tera-Scale Computing Research Program and is described in [3].
Terascale Processor integrates 80 cores in bi-dimensional mesh in 8 × 10 cores organization.
With 65 nm processor technology implemented, chip integrates 100 million transistors on 275 mm2 die.
Processor performs 4 FLOP per cycle per core, and with 4.27 GHz delivers theoretical peak performance of 1.37 TFLOPS in single precision. Instructions set architecture consists of 16 instructions and Terascale Processor uses 96 bit VLIW. Each core runs own program and interconnection network transfers data and coordination instructions for execution of programs between cores via message passing.
