No Such Thing as a General- Purpose Processor.
The article examines the argument that there is no such thing as a truly general-purpose processor and that the belief in such a device is harmful. Topics discussed include the specific category of workloads that the devices are optimized for and what those optimizations are, requirements for runnin...

Topics discussed include the specific category of workloads that the devices are optimized for and what those optimizations are, requirements for running an operating system and the problem of dark silicon or the portion of a chip that must be left unpowered. The article also explores parallelism in software, central processing unit (CPU) cache and RISC I processor. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2014 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
