Title :
Tera-scale Computing - the Role of interconnects in Volume Compute platforms
Author_Institution :
Intel Corp., Santa Clara
Abstract :
Future CPU directions are increasingly emphasizing parallel compute platforms which consequently, depend upon greater core to core communication and generally stress the overall memory and storage interconnect hierarchy to a much greater degree than extrapolations of past platform needs. Performance is critically dependent upon bandwidth/latency but must be moderated with power and cost considerations. Motivation, requirements, and potential solutions are summarized briefly in this paper.
