Power Optimization Through Manycore Multiprocessingchiportal
The document discusses power optimization techniques for mobile devices. It describes how many-core multiprocessing using smaller, more efficient processor cores can improve performance and scalability while reducing power compared to single large cores. Specifically, ARM's big.LITTLE processing combines high-performance Cortex-A15 cores for intensive tasks with power-efficient Cortex-A7 cores for less demanding tasks, allowing dynamic task migration between core types to optimize for both performance and power efficiency. Software changes are needed to decompose tasks and take advantage of the multiple core types.

My ISCA 2013 - 40th International Symposium on Computer Architecture KeynoteDileep Bhandarkar
Keynote speech delivered in Tel Aviv on 25 June 2013.
I had the privilege of being the first speaker at the First Annual Symposium on Computer Architecture in 1973. Over the last 40 years I have worked on PDP-11, VAX, MIPS, Alpha, x86, Itanium, and ARM processors and systems.
Moore’s Law has enabled computer architects to increase the pace of innovation and the development of microprocessors with new instruction sets.
In the 1970s, minicomputers from Digital Equipment Corporation, Data General and Hewlett Packard started to challenge IBM mainframes. The introduction of the 32-bit VAX-11/780 in 1978 was a landmark event. The single chip MicroVAX was introduced in 1985.
The IBM PC was introduced on August 12, 1981, followed by many IBM PC compatible machines from Compaq and others. This led to the tremendous growth of x86 processors from Intel and AMD. Today, the x86 processor dominate the computer industry.
In 1987, the introduction of RISC processors based on Sun’s SPARC architecture spawned the now famous RISC vs CISC debates. RISC processors from MIPS, IBM (Power, Power PC), and HP (PA-RISC) started to gain market share. This forced Digital to first adopt MIPS processors, and later introduce Alpha in 1992.
The RISC supremacy continued until the introduction of the first out of order x86 Pentium Pro processor in 1995, expanding the role of x86 into workstations and servers. The x86 architecture was extended to 64 bits by AMD in the Opteron processor in 2003, forcing Intel to launch its own compatible processor.
Disruptive technologies usually come from below. We have seen users migrate from mainframes to minicomputers to RISC workstations and servers to desktop PCs and PC servers to notebooks and tablets. Volume economics has driven the industry. The next wave will be the technology used in smart phones. With over a billion chips sold annually, this technology will appear in other platforms. Several companies have announced plans for ARM based servers.
Moore’s Law has also enabled computer architects to advance the sophistication of microprocessors. We will review some of the significant milestones leading from the first Intel 4004 to today’s state of the art processors.
The document summarizes the five generations of computers based on the technologies used to build processors, memory, and input/output units. The first generation used vacuum tubes, the second used transistors, the third used integrated circuits, the fourth used microprocessors, and the fifth used artificial intelligence and extensive parallel processing. Each generation was smaller, less expensive, and more powerful than the previous. Memory and storage capacity increased significantly with each generation.
System on Chip (SoC) design aims to integrate heterogeneous components like processors, memory, analog circuits onto a single chip to achieve benefits like lower cost, power consumption, and physical size. Moore's law has allowed increasing transistor counts on chips over decades. Early SoCs integrated thousands of gates while modern ones integrate millions of transistors. Challenges include meeting time-to-market demands and managing increasing design complexity and verification requirements. Solutions involve raising the design process to higher abstraction levels, reusing pre-verified intellectual property blocks from different vendors to simplify verification.
The document discusses the Intel Core i7 processor. It goes over the generations of Intel processors leading up to the Core i7. The Core i7 is Intel's fastest desktop processor, featuring quad-core processing, Intel Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading technologies, and an integrated graphics processor. It provides powerful performance for multimedia tasks, gaming, and content creation. The Core i7 has advantages like a large shared cache and fast processing speeds while maintaining relatively low power consumption.
AMD held a press conference at Computex Taipei 2011 to announce new products and strategies. They discussed how visual communications are processed much faster than words, and how digital media is becoming increasingly visual. AMD launched their new 9 series chipset to support upcoming 8-core CPUs. They also discussed their roadmap of Fusion APUs, with new C and E series APUs that improve battery life while maintaining discrete-level graphics performance. AMD emphasized their strategy of differentiating with GPU technology and delivering winning platforms with AMD Fusion APUs.
The document discusses India's first microprocessor called Dunnington, which was developed by Intel India's Enterprise Microprocessor Group. Key points:
- More than a dozen BITSians were involved in developing Dunnington over two years. It has six processor cores and 1.9 billion transistors.
- Led by BITSian Ravi Kuppuswamy, the chip launched ahead of schedule and outperformed its predecessor. It received praise from companies like IBM for its "bone-crushing" performance.
- Dunnington was the first fully owned CPU product developed in India and was awarded the NASSCOM IT Innovation Award in 2008, recognizing it as India's first microprocessor.

The document traces the evolution of Intel microprocessors from 1971 to 1997, highlighting several major milestones. It describes the 4004 as Intel's first microprocessor in 1971. The 8080 became the central processing unit of the first personal computer, the Altair, in 1974. The 8086 and 8088, released in 1978 and 1979 respectively, established Intel in the personal computer market. Subsequent processors like the 286, 386, 486, and Pentium lines further increased processing power and capabilities.

30. Educational Simulation…Synthesis
“Literacy in the computer age means being able to make dynamic models of the ideas
that you're thinking about and trying to explain to others and arguing about. In other
words, simulations. In the future, children will grow up learning how to make ideas
that actually function on computers and use them as part of their discourse and
thinking processes.” – Alan Kay of Viewpoints Research Institute

47. Summary
Discover possibilities with multi core
–Innovate software capabilities by
leveraging multi core compute power
– (Examples: Google Desktop search, .NET WPF)
“Parallel thinking” software
–Now is the time to start your transition to parallel
computing.
–If you aren’t parallel, you can’t fully utilize multi-
core processors.
48. Conclusions
Create opportunities with the multicore
era:
–create new trends & experiences
– E.g. Research s/w for Visual/3D web
Teach multi-core:
–develop your intuitions for parallelism

Editor's Notes
With TPL’s structured parallelism, refactoring the code is easy. If you squint, you almost recognize a “parallelfor” statement. C# 3.0 (and various other languages) is expressive enough to make such code concise to write using lambda expressions. Note that size is the exclusive upper-bound for Parallel.For, and “i” is the lambda parameter fed in to the body of the loop.
