Kilocore® Overview Print E-mail

Conventional technology is unable to meet the processing and power consumption requirements of many of today’s complex products such as audio, video, communications and data processing “securely” on mobile devices. Evolving standards and next generation functional requirements often move faster than today’s development design cycle creating product obsolescence even before shipment. Kilocore® products can be dynamically reconfigured in real-time and upgraded in the field via software, enabling delivery of next generation, multiple features in a single low-cost chip while creating the potential for additional downstream revenue models.

Dynamically Reconfigurable Computing

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. 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. The unique Kilocore architecture provides the following benefits:

  • Flexibility: functions can be dynamically changed in a single clock cycle.
  • Performance: unprecedented performance via simultaneous computing of multiple functions.
  • Scalability: hundreds to thousands of processing elements on a single chip.
  • Efficiency: Extremely low power consumption.
