Commercialization of first US patented eco-friendly multi-core processor technology
A team led by Waseda University professor has developed a revolutionary eco-friendly, low-power multicore processor and parallelizing compiler, which is ready for commercialization in a wide range of products, from automobiles to mobile phones, medical devices and more.
Hironori Kasahara, Waseda professor and researcher at its Green Computing organization, is collaborating with Oscar Technology Corporation to develop products with the new microprocessor. This new computer technology is expected to spur dramatic improvements in electronic products, as well as enhancing Japan's industrial and economic competitiveness and spurring its energy conservation initiatives and disaster response measures. The work is the subject of 30 patents and has been presented to the IEEE ISSCC, the leading international conference on semiconductors.
This new multicore processor and parallelizing compiler is the fastest in the world at executing application programs and is the first of its kind to dramatically reduce power consumption by controlling operational frequency and halting individual processor operations. The new processor and compiler set is capable of reducing power consumption of a smartphone multicore unit by approximately 89% during music compression and 75% during high resolution video decoding. In the medical field, the technology will make computations in heavy particle radiotherapy and high resolution picture compression for capsule endoscopes 55 times faster thanks to a 64-core processor. Reduced power consumption brings benefits to the environment as well as to consumers in the form of dramatically reduced battery drain.
This technology will be shown at the Waseda University Kasahara & Kimura Laboratory and Oscar Technology booths at the Embedded Technology 2015 exhibition to be held November 18-20 at Pacifico Yokohama.
