3、Multi-core processor
A multi-core processor is a single computing component with two or more independent actual central processing units(called "cores").Figure 1-8 shows a diagram of a generic dual-core processor.
Manufactures typically integrate the cores onto a single integrated circuit die (known as a chip multiprocessor or CMP),or onto multiple dies in a single chip package.
Multicore processors may have two cores (dual-core CPUs,for example,AMD phenom II X2 and Intel Core Duo),four cores (quad-core CPUs,for example, Intel's i7 processors),six cores,eight cores,or more.
Multi-core processors are widely used across many application domains including general-purpose,embedded,network,digital signal processing(DSP),and graphics.
Commercially,Adapteva Epiphany,a many-core processor architecture which allows up to 4096 processors on-chip,although only a 16 core version has been commercially produced.

3、多核处理器
A multi-core processor is a single computing component with two or more independent actual central processing units(called "cores").
多核处理器是一个单一的计算组件，有两个或多个独立的实际中央处理单元（称为“核心；）。

图1-8显示了通用双核处理器的图表。
Manufactures typically integrate the cores onto a single integrated circuit die (known as a chip multiprocessor or CMP),or onto multiple dies in a single chip package.
制造商通常将核心集成到单个集成电路模具(称为芯片多处理器或CMP)上，或集成到单个芯片包中的多个模具上。
Multicore processors may have two cores (dual-core CPUs,for example,AMD phenom II X2 and Intel Core Duo),four cores (quad-core CPUs,for example, Intel's i7 processors),six cores,eight cores,or more.
多核处理器可能有两个核心(双核CPU，例如AMD，phenomIIX2和IntelCoreDuo)，四个核心(四核CPU，例如Intel的i7处理器)，六个核心，八个核心或更多。
Multi-core processors are widely used across many application domains including general-purpose,embedded,network,digital signal processing(DSP),and graphics.
多核处理器广泛应用于许多应用领域，包括通用、嵌入式、网络、数字信号处理(DSP)和图形。

从商业上讲，Adapteva Epiphany是一种多核处理器架构，允许多达4096个片上处理器，尽管商业上只生产了16个核心版本。

3、 多核处理器
多核处理器是有两个或多个独立的中央处理器（称为“核”）的单个计算机部件。图1-8为通用双核处理器框图。
制造厂商通常把几个核集成在一个集成电路模片上（称为单片多处理器-CMP），或集成在多个模片上，再封装成一个芯片盒。
多核处理器可以有2核（双核CPUs，例如AMD Phenom II X2 and Intel Core Duo）、4核（4核CPUs，例如Intel’s i7 processors）、6核、8核或更多的核。
多核处理器广泛用于多个领域，包括通用领域，嵌入式，网络，数字信号处理以及图形学领域。
商业上，Adapteva公司的Epiphany架构，是一个多核处理器体系，可以在一个芯片上有多达4096个处理器，尽管推向市场的只是16核的版本。
