Kilocore was a high-performance, low-power multi-core microprocessor that has 1,025 cores designed by Rapport Inc. and IBM and announced in 2006.
Rapport was a California fabless semiconductor company founded in 2001 and dissolved in 2009.
[1] Kilocore contained a single PowerPC processing core, and 1,024 eight-bit Processing Elements running at 125 MHz each, which could be dynamically reconfigured, connected by a shared interconnect.
IBM said that the Kilocore1025 will enable "streaming live- and high-definition video on a low-power, mobile device at 5 to 10 times the speed of existing processors.
"[3] Despite raising an additional $18.5 million in 2008,[4] the company dissolved before Kilocore came to market.
