Larrabee: A Many-Core x86 Architecture for Visual Computing
This paper introduces the Larrabee a many-core hardware
architecture, a new software rendering pipeline, a many-core
programming model, and performance analysis for several
applications. Larrabee uses multiple in-order x86 CPU cores that
are augmented by a wide vector processor unit, as well as
fixed-function co-processors. This provides dramatically higher
performance per watt and per unit of area than out-of-order CPUs
on highly parallel workloads and greatly increases the flexibility
and programmability of the architecture as compared to standard
GPUs.
