Kilocore® processors use a powerful new parallel computing architecture that dramatically lowers power consumption for equivalent computational performance. Kilocore® technology utilizes arrays of dynamically reconfigurable parallel processing elements optimized for performance. This architecture is scalable, flexible in that functions can be changed in a single clock cycle and highly efficient so that a single small chip provides unprecedented performance, simultaneous computing of multiple functions and extremely low power consumption. KC256 - Parallel Processing using 256 Processing Elements.
 Each processing element in a Kilocore® stripe can be dynamically reconfigured in one clock cycle. Kilocore® tools support both dynamic reconfiguration of processing elements and formatting of all types of data. Conventional technology is unable to meet the processing and power consumption requirements of many of today’s complex products such as audio, video and data processing “securely” on mobile devices. In addition, evolving standards and next generation functional requirements often move faster than today’s development design cycle creating product obsolescence before shipment. Kilocore® products can be upgraded in the field via software, enabling delivery of next generation features while creating potential downstream revenue models. Kilocore® enables greater flexibility, higher performance, lower power, a faster time-to-market and a substantial lowering of cost for new, state-of-the-art, feature-rich products.
Rapport is a member of Power.org and is collaborating with IBM to enable applications that leverage the PowerPC® architecture in combination with Kilocore® technology.
