Hybrid-core computing applies application-specific hardware to compute intensive algorithms, breaking the power/performance wall that exists today with commodity processors.
Convey's hybrid-core system extends the capabilities of an x86 with a unique Convey-designed coprocessor that shares a coherent virtual address space with the host Intel processor. The Convey system, combined with the extended x86 instruction set, delivers much higher sustainable memory bandwidth and massive computational ability.
The result? Application performance is improved 5x to 25x.
