MIPS Warrior I64 6400-bit processor cores

06.09.2014

Imagination Technologies introduced the I6400 family of MIPS I-class processors, which are the first IP cores to combine 64-bit architecture and hardware virtualization with scalable performance through bundled multi-threading, multi-core and multi-cluster processing. According to the developer, the extraordinary set of features and the best balance of performance, power consumption and die area put the I6400 far ahead of competing solutions. Customers have the opportunity to choose the required ratio of die sizes and processor performance during implementation.

The MIPS Warrior I-class cores are said to set a new standard for 64-bit mainstream computing across a wide range of applications, including embedded and mobile systems, consumer electronics, communications, networking and storage. And all this - within the same family of MIPS cores.

The I6400 cores are based on the MIPS Release 6 (r6) architecture, which includes the MIPS32 and MIPS64 instruction sets, which eliminates the overhead of 64-bit computing.

According to Imagination Technologies, the i6400 cores in their class outperform competitors by over 50% in CoreMark and 30% in DMIPS. The features of the new cores include hardware support for up to four threads with parallel execution of several instructions in different threads on each cycle. An important feature of the I6400 is the presence of advanced data protection tools, including support for independent contexts and execution areas. The floating point unit in the I6400 supports single and double precision. The kernel supports 128-bit SIMD instructions. In addition, it is worth noting the advanced PowerGearing power management mechanisms, including independent clocking and powering of each core in a heterogeneous cluster.

A wide range of development tools are available for the new processor cores, including support for MIPS64 r6 in the QEMU emulator.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

The anticipation of the holiday affects the sense of time 06.06.2021

American scientists conducted four studies, the results of which showed that the expectation of a holiday negatively affects the perception of time.

The authors of the research were researchers from Ohio State University. They recruited 451 volunteers who were thinking about the coming weekend. Participants then also had to decide whether the weekend would be fun, terrible, or just normal. It turned out that positive events seem to be shorter in duration than negative ones.

Experts believe that the expectation of holidays, weekends or vacations distorts the perception of time. So, with the beginning of the holiday in the imagination of people, it ends, because people ignore the real events.
