Intel engineers managed to create a computing accelerator with 41 chiplets
As long been known, the Ponte Vecchio family of computing accelerators should become the most advanced in terms of layout solutions and manufacturing technology, even if Intel will receive separate crystals from third-party manufacturers. It looks like one of the prototypes received 41 crystals in one package.
In any case, it is possible to interpret the new publication Raja Coduri (Raja Koduri), which continues to oversee Intel’s graphics solutions and related accelerator computing. He already demonstrated a server chip sample with several crystals on one substrate at the end of January. An abstract image with a graphical representation of the Mandelbrot set has been used as an illustration. According to Koduri, a prototype of an accelerator with 41 chipsets is now trying its hand to determine the area of this set and solve related mathematical problems.
He even compared this to display the phrase “hello, world” due to the test program. Raja Koduri noted that although this computing solution will be used in the segment of high-performance systems, it will undoubtedly please many fans of computer graphics. Considering that the January photo showed more than a dozen chips in one package, then a ready-made computing accelerator can combine up to four such processors on one board.
