Multicore chip specialist Tilera said Monday that the company is planning its next iteration, which will hold a whopping 100 cores.
Don't expect the 100-core chip until 2011, however. That will be well after a new 36-core Tile-Gx chip, scheduled to debut this fourth quarter, followed by a 16-core version soon afterward. This is the third generation of chips for Tilera. which began life five years ago.
Tilera's iMesh two-dimensional interconnect essentially places a communications switch on each core and eliminates the need for an on-chip bus. Tilera has received funding from DARPA ((Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and most recently from Quanta Computer, which announced Oct. 12 that it was investing $10 million in Tilera.
