A 40GOPS 250mW massively parallel processor based on matrix architecture

Abstract

The matrix processing engine (MTX) is a massively parallel processor based on the matrix architecture. 40GOPS (16b additions) is achieved at 200MHz clock frequency and 250mW power dissipation. 2048 ALUs and 1Mb SRAM connected by a flexible switching network are integrated in 3.1mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> using a 90nm CMOS process
