More chip cores can mean slower supercomputing, Sandia simulation shows
January 12, 2009 • 16 multicores perform barely as well as two for complex applications ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The worldwide attempt to increase the speed of supercomputers merely by increasing the number of processor cores on individual chips unexpectedly worsens performance for many complex applications, Sandia simulations have found. A Sandia team simulated key...
