Advanced Architecture—Processor-In-Memory (PIM)
Sandia National Laboratories teams with another government agency to explore Petaflops computing using the Cyclops Processor-In-Memory (PIM) advanced architecture in a system of the configuration shown above. Cyclops’ processor chips have 80 “cores” or microprocessor units. The high degree of parallelism on each chip supports very compute-intensive applications, such as Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) methods.
