Wired has an interesting article on mobile computing. As ARM seeks to put cell phone chips into our supercomputers, Intel is doing the reverse. The lines between the mobile hardware and data center hardware are blurring. Intel’s experimental Single-chip Cloud Computer project, or SCC is a 48 core chip acts as a “network” of processors on a single chip, with two cores per node. The nodes actually communicate to each other much the same way nodes in a cluster in a data center would. While these types of architectures are today used in big data applications that run on a server cloud environment there are actually many cases where a hybrid model would make the most sense including artificial intelligence, machine vision and augmented reality applications.
