The SCC resulted from an Intel project focusing on researching multi-core processors and parallel processing.
[3] The SCC contains 1.3 billion 45 nm transistors capable of amplifying signals or acting as a switch, using 25 to 125 watts of power depending on processing demand.
Proper coding integration results in a functional processor with high speed, power, and energy efficiency, resembling a network of cloud computers.
[6] The SCC comes with RCCE, a simple message-passing interface provided by Intel supporting basic message-buffering operations.
The goal is to make the SCC scalable to 100+ cores, potentially achieved by enabling communication between individual chips.
Intel aims to enhance parallel programming productivity and power management, leveraging the chip's architecture and numerous cores.
