REPLICA Multiprocessor
Revolutionary multiprocessor framework for efficient general purpose parallel computing. With respect to current CPUs, provides processors with radically higher performance and better productivity in SW engineering. REPLICA—Use parallelism as a resorce for better performance, not a productivity bog
REPLICA team has developed a revolutionary new multiprocessor framework. It defines a way to build microprocessors for future general-purpose computers, tablets, smart phones as well as application-specific embedded systems. It is called a framework since REPLICA is not just a single multiprocessor but a family of patented and parametric parallel architectures enabling constellations optimized for different use cases and performance levels. Multiprocessors designed according to the principles of the framework treat parallelism as a natural design factor and a resource for higher performance rather than an obstacle that decreases productivity and causes hard-to-debug performance issues. Through its unique combination of architectural and methodological techniques and solutions, REPLICA helps to eliminate the performance and programmability bottlenecks of current multicore processors and fundamental hurdles that have prevented parallel computing finally from becoming the mainstream of software engineering.
“Our experimentations indicate roughly 10 X performance increase and 5 X software development productivity jump for parallel functionalities over an industry standard processor in a setting for premium laptop computer.”
If combined with an established processor manufacturer’s existing product line, REPLICA provides backwards compatibility with the existing software base, tools and system software. Our experimentations indicate roughly 10 X performance increase and 5 X software development productivity jump for parallel functionalities over an industry standard processor in a setting for premium laptop computer.
