b. 1000
c. 2000
d. 2500
ANSWER: 1000
US scientists have created the world’s first microchip that has 1000 processors and is currently the fastest chip designed in the university laboratory
- Energy efficient microchip designed by University of California researchers is called the KiloCore chip and has maximal computation rate of 1.78 trillion instructions per second and close to 621 million transistors.
- This is the world’s first 1000 processor and is the highest clock rate processor ever designed in a university
- Fabricated by IBM using the 32nm CMOS technology, KiloCore chip’s each processor core can run its own small programme independently of others
- Multiple processor chips have now been created that exceed the previous limit of 300 processors
