Re: cortex-A50(ARM64) 64cores
Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2013 11:10 amI would like to add that having a 64-bit ARM as a Host CPU for one or an array for Epiphany DSPs would be very nice way to provide “Real-World” interfaces. Very much like what Parallala uses the current Zynq7010 and it’s ARM9 to do “House-Keeping”.
It will be some time – 5+ years! – before I think the Xilinx/Altera will have got the 64-bit ARM integrated with programmable logic, as required for getting data in/Out of the Epiphany DSPs.
I am sure that somebody will be building arrays of 64-bit ARMs, but it will lack the Floating-Point performance of the Epiphany and takes many times the wattage/power. The 64-bit ARM is developed/targeted towards Servers and to compete with 64-bit Intel CPUs. I am sure it will find it's way into Mobile phone as well
