Europe’s contribution to high performance computing will be one of the highlights at this year’s International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the leading event of its kind.
Engineers from IBM’s Boeblingen facility in Germany will be providing more details on the company’s POWER7 processor, which is aimed at high end servers. The highly parallel and scalable processor contains eight cores and can support four threads per core. Fabricated on a 45nm silicon on insulator process, the device comes with 32Mbyte of embedded dram and implements level 3 caches.
