초록

In order to overcome the complexity and performance limit problems of superscalar processors, the multi-core architecture has been prevalent recently. Usually, the number of cores mostly used for the multi-core processor architecture ranges from 2 to 16. However in the near future, more than 32-cores are likely to be utilized, which is called as many-core processor architecture. Using SPEC 2000 benchmarks as input, the trace-driven simulation has been performed for the 32 to 1024 many-core architectures extensively. For 1024-cores, the average performance scores 15.7 IPC, but the performance increase rate is saturated.
