Development of 64-Core SoC for Automotive and Consumer Products
Toshiba has recently released a many-core system-on-a-chip (SoC) for embedded applications in area of automotive and digital consumer products. The new prototype integrates 64 cores, which is 8 times more than its multi-core predecessor while operating 14 times faster. This has been achieved by using tree-based network-on-chip (NoC) architecture as well as highly efficient embedded processor cores. The new SoC features 1.5 tera operations per second at 333MHz and integrates image recognition hardware accelerators.
The new SoC applies low power technologies throughout its structure, including multi-level power gating, clock gating and Toshiba’s proprietary low power data-mapping flip-flop circuit. Toshiba is planning to apply the new technology to high performance over-HD (High Definition) resolution image processing and recognition.
