The Holy Grail of supercomputing chip design is an architecture that combines the versatility and programmability of CPUs with the explicit parallelism of GPUs, and InspireSemi strives toachieve just that. InspireSemi’s Thunderbird ‘supercomputer-cluster-on-a-chip’ packs 1,536 RISC-V cores designed specifically for high-performance computing, but it also supports a general-purpose CPU programming model. It also has incredible scalability — four chips can be placed on a single accelerator card, which comes in a standard GPU-like form factor (AIC), bringing the total of cores per card up to 6,144, with extended scalability to 360,000 cores per cluster....
