Tilera [1] specializes in multi-core low-power processors into servers, allowing users to pack as many as 512 cores into a single 2U server. A rack filled with these units would contain more than 10,000 cores and use less than 8 kW of power. At the recent Structure 2010 conference in San Francisco, Ihab Bishara of Tilera provided us with an overview of the company and its technology, as well as a look at one of Tilera’s 2U servers. This video runs about 7 minutes.
