*A:M User* Roger Posted July 1, 2014 *A:M User* Share Posted July 1, 2014 http://www.anandtech.com/show/8217/intels-knights-landing-coprocessor-detailed I can remember reading about ASCI Red (government supercomputer) being able crack the teraflop barrier back in 1997. This single cpu handles 2 or 3 times that. Still, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised given this is nearly 20 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 1, 2014 Hash Fellow Share Posted July 1, 2014 When I was a boy, "Knights Landing" was a primetime soap. <_> I read that and I have no idea what it is. A CPU? A GPU? A whole computer on a chip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Roger Posted July 1, 2014 Author *A:M User* Share Posted July 1, 2014 Originally I thought it was a CPU but I think it may be some sort of coprocessor board like the Nvidia Tesla. I could be wrong though. It could be all 3, I suppose, and just depending on what they want depends on how it is implemented (single chip in single socket: highly integrated system, multiple chips on a card: coprocessor board, etc).
