Tokyo, Japan, Dec 19, 2005 - (JCN Newswire) - NEC Corporation today announced that it has succeeded in the development of multicore processor technology capable of performing automatic parallelization of application programs, without modifying them. For optimal scalability, the parallelization of ProCAST 2005 relies on the dynamic domain decomposition technology, which is used to distribute a task on multiple processors. Taking a lesson from switching technology, BlueArc's Titan SiliconServer is a modular bladed server that incorporates a high-speed backplane and offers massive parallelization through the use of solid-state Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). |
