Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:55:08 +0100 From: "Raavi M. Mohindar Rao" <raavi.mohindar.rao@...glemail.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Processor Technology: Cores with Virtual Boundary Processor Technology: Cores with Virtual Boundary ====================================== Today's processors are based on multi-core architecture with real physical boundaries that separates the cores inside the processor or a chip and this approach can be optimum for executing general or specific tasks with intelligent schedulers. My curiosity is, what will happen if we can able to remove those real physical boundaries that separates the cores? Is it possible to overcome the ultimate limits on performance or does it all boils down to single-core architecture, if we can able to realize the above. In any case, I don't let the desing boiling to single-core but staying on multi-core with virtual boundaries or no boundaries at all. If it is possible then that it will be cool thing, like we can introduce 'ringed' cores with no real boundaries or any other topology which are best suitable for breaking the limits of performance. Your comments please. Further I am not a processor guy and in case if you like to discuss any intricates of processor design then I may not able to write much about it. Sorry for that.
