INTRODUCTION TO MULTI CORE PROCESSORS
 A multi-core processor is a computer processor on a single
integrated circuit with two or more separate processing units,
called cores, each of which reads and executes program
instructions.

 The instructions are ordinary CPU instructions (such as add,


move data, and branch) but the single processor can run
instructions on separate cores at the same time, increasing
overall speed for programs that support multithreading or other
parallel computing techniques.
HISTORY OF MULTICORE PROCESSOR
 When the first chip-based processors were manufactured, the

companies making these chips could only fit one processor on a single
chip. As the chip-making technology improved, it became possible for
chip makers to make chips with more circuits, and eventually, the
manufacturing technology reached the point where chip makers could
manufacture chips with more than one processor and created the
multi-core chip.

 Kunle Olukotun, a Stanford Electrical Engineering professor, and

his students designed the first multi-core chip in 1998.In 2001, IBM
introduced the world’s first multicore processor, a VLSI (very-large-
scale integration) chip with two 64-bit microprocessors comprising
more than 170 million transistors.
ARCHITECTURE OF MULTICORE PROCESSOR

 The architecture of multicore processor allows to make communication in between


entire available cores , and they split processing task and then assigned them
accurately.

 When all processing tasks are done then this processed data from every core is
sent backward to main board (Motherboard) of computer by using single shared
gateway. Due to this technique, to improve the entire performance of single core
processor.
SINGLE-CORE PROCESSOR

 A single-core processor is a microprocessor with a single core on a chip, running


and computing a single thread at any one time.

 The system of single-core consumes a considerable amount of time by doing so.

 A major improvement occurred after the emergence of multi-core processors which


have several independent processors on a single chip and can perform many
functions at a time

EXAMPLES OF MULTCORE PROCESSORS
 HOMOGENOUS MULTICORE PROCESSOR

In which, all identical processor cores can support same instruction set architecture (ISA).

For example – MPC41, Intel Core Duo .

HETEROGENEOUS MULTICORE PROCESSORS


In which, all non-identical processor cores can support different instruction set architecture
(ISA).

For example – Intel CE 2110 Media because it is comprised of Intel Xscale processor core
and an Intel Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) DSP core .
ADVANTAGES
 Multitasking productivity.

 PC security.

 It will work faster for certain programs.

 The computer needs less power because it can turn off sections that are not needed.

 The signals between different CPUs travel shorter distances, therefore they degrade
less.

 More features can be added to the computer.

 The computer may not get as hot when it is turned on.


DISADVANTAGES
 They do not work at twice the speed as a normal processor. They get only 60-80% more
speed.

 The speed that the computer works at depends on what the user is doing with it.

 They cost more than single core processors.

 They are more difficult to manage thermally than lower-density single-core processors.

 Not all operating systems support more than one core.

 Operating systems compiled for a multi-core processor will run slightly slower on a single-
core processor.
APPLICATIONS
 Video editing.

 Encoding.

 3D GAMING.

 Powerful graphics solution.

 Optimized productivity titles , such as AVG’s virus scanning software

 High graphic games like as Overwatch, Star Wars Battlefront, and 3D games

 Smart phones, laptops, desktops, and tablets.


FUTURE ASPECT
 Next generation software applications will require the performance capacity
provided by multicore processors . Software destined to break barriers in the user
experience like as

 Voice recognition .

 Artificial Intelligence (AI).


CONCLUSION
In the next years the trend will go on to multicore processors .The
main reason is that they are faster than single core processors and they
still can be improved. But in the future there will be still some
applications for single core processors because not every system needs
a fast processor.
