Abstract

Power consumption and interconnect latency are becoming major bottlenecks in the design of high performance computers and microprocessors. In this paper we propose to use a multi-core processor approach to improve the performance of a processor. This paper discusses an analysis of the performance trade off's between single and multi-core processors based on power, frequency, bandwidth and the role of embedded passives with high density wiring in future packages to support such processors.
