Talk:Multicore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] clarification needed
"A multicore architecture is actually a SMP implemented on a single VLSI circuit." what is the difference among a die, a chip, and a VLSI circuit? "The goal is to allow greater utilization of thread-level parallelism (TLP), especially for applications that lack sufficient instruction-level parallelism (ILP) to make good use of superscalar processors. It is called Chip-level multiprocessing (also known as CMP), or Chip-level multithreading (CMT)." What does "it" in the last sentence refer to? Multicore architecture?
