Micron to start shipping programmable Automata processors to developers
2015-12-05 23:22:04| Semiconductors - Topix.net
Micron's Automata processors, in development for some time, break from traditional processor/computing architectures by having thousands of independent processing elements that can be programmed to handle various instructions in parallel, rather than serially process chunks of data as standard CPUs do. Micron argues this approach can yield major performance gains for data-intensive search and pattern-matching applications requiring a huge number of operations that are individually fairly simple, but collectively amount to a large task.
