Regional autonomous heterogeneous many-core processor for high-performance computing

Abstract

The invention discloses a regional autonomous heterogeneous many-core processor for high-performance computing, which comprises a processor body with a memory and an interconnection structure. The processor body comprises a plurality of general domains and one or more acceleration domains, the general domains are logically and physically divided into a plurality of general CPU cores, the acceleration domains comprise multi-core accelerators of different types, and the general domains are used for providing general processing including operating system support, task scheduling and management. The acceleration domains are used for executing high-density calculation acceleration tasks, and coarse-grained communication is carried out between the universal domain and the acceleration domains only by sharing off-chip storage and on-chip heterogeneous interconnection, so that the universal domain and the acceleration domains have high autonomy. According to the method, high-performance calculation can be efficiently supported, the balanced inter-core independence and cooperation relation is achieved, and meanwhile storage and interconnection flexibility and adaptability are considered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of microprocessor architecture design, in particular to a high-performance computing-oriented regional autonomous heterogeneous many-core processor. Background technique [0002] High Performance Computing (HPC) is one of the basic fields to promote the development of science and technology. Currently, the era of E-class high-performance computing, which is the "next pearl" of supercomputer systems, has arrived. The ultra-high computing power requirements of E-level high-performance computing make the design of high-performance processors face very severe challenges. To meet this challenge, the heterogeneous many-core architecture is being widely adopted by high-performance processors due to its good performance scalability. Although the types and functions of the heterogeneous processor cores contained in the current heterogeneous many-core processors are not the same, it is generally believed that the organizationa...
