GPUs Taking Bigger Share Of SOC
October 3, 2013
Heterogeneous processing is the future, Tony King-Smith, EVP at Imagination, told the Future Horizons IEF 2013 meeting in Dublin this morning. The vehicle for heterogeneous processing is the SOC – the means by which complexity is commoditised. Within the SOC the architecture has changed. It’s no longer about a CPU controlling peripherals it’s about multiple processors working together, said King-Smith. “The CPU is now only one of of the processors in the system,” said King-Smith, “it has to operate efficiently with all the other processors which are also high performance engines in their own right as well as being programmable.”
