IBM and Power.org member Rapport unveiled a new energy-efficient processor dubbed Kilocore that features more than 1,000 processing elements around a Power chip architecture. Kilocore — with parallel processing similar to that of the new Cell processor, Sun’s Niagara, and Azul’s multi-core chip — has the ability to join hundreds or even thousands of parallel processing elements on a single chip that saves energy by cutting the distance for computing signals.
