A 1000 CPU Core

We will run Crysis 2? 2, 4, 6-core CPUs are now a thing of the past, apparently, some researchers at the University of Glasgow are in fact managed to assemble a CPU Cores containing over 1000. Using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), 1000 Core have been concentrated in a single chip can process data up to 5 GB per second, with a dedicated memory for each core.

However, "the FPGA can not be used for standard computers," says Dr. Wim Vanderbauwhede, head of the project, mainly due to the difficulty in programming dedicated. In any case, the computational power is enormous and the energy content, therefore it is primarily a concept to develop and adjust in the near future, even for standard computers and consumer electronics.
