The TILE64TMprocessor is a multicore SoC targeting the high-performance demands of a wide range of embedded applications across networking and digital multimedia applications. A figure shows a block diagram with 64 tile processors arranged in an 8x8 array. These tiles connect through a scalable 2D mesh network with high-speed I/Os on the periphery. Each general-purpose processor is identical and capable of running SMP Linux.
