Intel's Larabee is actually vector based supercomputer
1860+ contact pods?
Intel is seems again interested in supercomputing, though this time in a small scale, highly integrated chip version named Larabee. This seems appropriate for vector specific applications.
512bit wide. A lot of data chunks crunched in a single clock.
read instruction and decode it
fetch these 16 numbers (32 bit)
fetch those 16 numbers
fetch another 16 numbers
add and multiply them
put the results here
Given below is the obvious illustration power of 48+ cores simultaneously.
