68-633: Epyc (stylized as EPYC) is a brand of multi-core x86-64 microprocessors designed and sold by AMD , based on the company's Zen microarchitecture . Introduced in June 2017, they are specifically targeted for the server and embedded system markets. Epyc processors share the same microarchitecture as their regular desktop-grade counterparts, but have enterprise-grade features such as higher core counts, more PCI Express lanes, support for larger amounts of RAM, and larger cache memory . They also support multi-chip and dual-socket system configurations by using

136-404: A big.LITTLE core includes a high-performance core (called 'big') and a low-power core (called 'LITTLE'). There is also a trend towards improving energy-efficiency by focusing on performance-per-watt with advanced fine-grain or ultra fine-grain power management and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (i.e. laptop computers and portable media players ). Chips designed from the outset for

204-425: A multi-chip module design to enable higher yields for a CPU than traditional monolithic dies. First generation Epyc CPUs are composed of four 14 nm compute dies, each with up to 8 cores. Cores are symmetrically disabled on dies to create lower binned products with fewer cores but the same I/O and memory footprint . Second and Third gen Epyc CPUs are composed of eight compute dies built on a 7 nm process node, and

272-520: A 14 nm-based IO chip providing 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes in the center interconnected via Infinity Fabric . The processors support up to 8 channels of DDR4 RAM up to 4 TB , and introduce support for PCIe 4.0. These processors have up to 64 cores with 128 SMT threads per socket. The 7   nm "Rome" is manufactured by TSMC . It was released on August 7, 2019. It has 39.5 billion transistors. In April 2020, AMD launched three new SKUs using Epyc’s 7nm Rome platform. The three processors introduced were

340-494: A 50% increase over Milan-X, which had a maximum of 768 MB of L3 cache. On the same day, AMD also announced the release of their cloud optimized Zen 4c SKUs, codenamed Bergamo, offering up to 128 cores per socket, utilizing a modified version of the Zen ;4 core that was optimized for power efficiency and to reduce die space. Zen 4c cores do not have any instructions removed compared to standard Zen 4 cores; instead,

408-456: A SIMD engine and Picochip with 300 processors on a single die, focused on communication applications. In heterogeneous computing , where a system uses more than one kind of processor or cores, multi-core solutions are becoming more common: Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC has a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 and dual-core ARM Cortex-R5. Software solutions such as OpenAMP are being used to help with inter-processor communication. Mobile devices may use

476-451: A big factor in mobile devices that operate on batteries. Since each core in a multi-core CPU is generally more energy-efficient, the chip becomes more efficient than having a single large monolithic core. This allows higher performance with less energy. A challenge in this, however, is the additional overhead of writing parallel code. Maximizing the usage of the computing resources provided by multi-core processors requires adjustments both to

544-430: A chip . That means most features required to make servers fully functional (such as memory, PCI Express, SATA controllers, etc.) are fully integrated into the processor, eliminating the need for a chipset to be placed on the mainboard. Some features may require the use of additional controller chips to utilize. Initial reception to Epyc was generally positive. Epyc was generally found to outperform Intel CPUs in cases where

612-413: A combination of cores. Embedded computing operates in an area of processor technology distinct from that of "mainstream" PCs. The same technological drives towards multi-core apply here too. Indeed, in many cases the application is a "natural" fit for multi-core technologies, if the task can easily be partitioned between the different processors. In addition, embedded software is typically developed for

680-545: A dual socket configuration has the same number of usable PCIe lanes as a single socket configuration. First generation Epyc CPUs had 128 PCIe 3.0 lanes, while second and third generation had 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes. All current Epyc CPUs are equipped with up to eight channels of DDR4 at varying speeds, though next gen Genoa CPUs are confirmed by AMD to support up to twelve channels of DDR5. Unlike Opteron, Intel equivalents and AMD's desktop processors (excluding Socket AM1 ), Epyc processors are chipset-free - also known as system on

748-448: A given time period, since individual signals can be shorter and do not need to be repeated as often. Assuming that the die can physically fit into the package, multi-core CPU designs require much less printed circuit board (PCB) space than do multi-chip SMP designs. Also, a dual-core processor uses slightly less power than two coupled single-core processors, principally because of the decreased power required to drive signals external to

816-417: A high bandwidth interface built on PCIe 5.0. AMD also shared information regarding the sister chip of Genoa, codenamed Bergamo. Bergamo is based on a modified version of Zen 4 named Zen 4c, designed to allow for much higher core counts and efficiency at the cost of lower single-core performance, targeting cloud providers and workloads, compared to traditional high performance computing workloads. It

884-472: A large input/output (I/O) die built on a 14 nm process node. Third gen Milan-X CPUs use advanced through-silicon-vias to stack an additional die on top of each of the 8 compute dies, adding 64 MB of L3 cache per die. Epyc CPUs supports both single socket and dual socket operation. In a dual socket configuration, 64 PCIe lanes from each CPU are allocated to AMD's proprietary Infinity Fabric interconnect to allow for full bandwidth between both CPUs. Thus,

952-513: A large number of cores (rather than having evolved from single core designs) are sometimes referred to as manycore designs, emphasising qualitative differences. The composition and balance of the cores in multi-core architecture show great variety. Some architectures use one core design repeated consistently ("homogeneous"), while others use a mixture of different cores, each optimized for a different, " heterogeneous " role. How multiple cores are implemented and integrated significantly affects both

1020-486: A multi-core device tightly or loosely. For example, cores may or may not share caches , and they may implement message passing or shared-memory inter-core communication methods. Common network topologies used to interconnect cores include bus , ring , two-dimensional mesh , and crossbar . Homogeneous multi-core systems include only identical cores; heterogeneous multi-core systems have cores that are not identical (e.g. big.LITTLE have heterogeneous cores that share

1088-476: A new abstraction for C++ parallelism called TBB . Other research efforts include the Codeplay Sieve System , Cray's Chapel , Sun's Fortress , and IBM's X10 . Multi-core processing has also affected the ability of modern computational software development. Developers programming in newer languages might find that their modern languages do not support multi-core functionality. This then requires

1156-405: A perceived lack of motivation for writing consumer-level threaded applications because of the relative rarity of consumer-level demand for maximum use of computer hardware. Also, serial tasks like decoding the entropy encoding algorithms used in video codecs are impossible to parallelize because each result generated is used to help create the next result of the entropy decoding algorithm. Given

1224-793: A single FPGA . Each "core" can be considered a " semiconductor intellectual property core " as well as a CPU core. While manufacturing technology improves, reducing the size of individual gates, physical limits of semiconductor -based microelectronics have become a major design concern. These physical limitations can cause significant heat dissipation and data synchronization problems. Various other methods are used to improve CPU performance. Some instruction-level parallelism (ILP) methods such as superscalar pipelining are suitable for many applications, but are inefficient for others that contain difficult-to-predict code. Many applications are better suited to thread-level parallelism (TLP) methods, and multiple independent CPUs are commonly used to increase

1292-453: A single die with a unified cache, hence any two working dual-core dies can be used, as opposed to producing four cores on a single die and requiring all four to work to produce a quad-core CPU. From an architectural point of view, ultimately, single CPU designs may make better use of the silicon surface area than multiprocessing cores, so a development commitment to this architecture may carry the risk of obsolescence. Finally, raw processing power

1360-565: A specific hardware release, making issues of software portability , legacy code or supporting independent developers less critical than is the case for PC or enterprise computing. As a result, it is easier for developers to adopt new technologies and as a result there is a greater variety of multi-core processing architectures and suppliers. As of 2010 , multi-core network processors have become mainstream, with companies such as Freescale Semiconductor , Cavium Networks , Wintegra and Broadcom all manufacturing products with eight processors. For

1428-413: A system's overall TLP. A combination of increased available space (due to refined manufacturing processes) and the demand for increased TLP led to the development of multi-core CPUs. Several business motives drive the development of multi-core architectures. For decades, it was possible to improve performance of a CPU by shrinking the area of the integrated circuit (IC), which reduced the cost per device on

[...] Atsushi Hasegawa, a senior chief engineer at Renesas , generally agreed. He suggested the cellphone's use of many specialty cores working in concert is a good model for future multi-core designs. [...] Anant Agarwal , founder and chief executive of startup Tilera , took

1564-510: Is a significant ongoing topic of research. Cointegration of multiprocessor applications provides flexibility in network architecture design. Adaptability within parallel models is an additional feature of systems utilizing these protocols. In the consumer market, dual-core processors (that is, microprocessors with two units) started becoming commonplace on personal computers in the late 2000s. Quad-core processors were also being adopted in that era for higher-end systems before becoming standard. In

1632-483: Is compatible with Socket SP5, and supports up to 128 cores and 256 threads per socket. In November 2022, AMD launched their 4th generation Epyc "Genoa" series of CPUs. Some tech reviewers and customers had already received hardware for testing and benchmarking, and third party benchmarks of Genoa parts were immediately available. The flagship part, the 96 core Epyc 9654, set records for multi-core performance, and showed up to 4× performance compared to Intel's flagship part,

1700-421: Is described by Amdahl's law . In the best case, so-called embarrassingly parallel problems may realize speedup factors near the number of cores, or even more if the problem is split up enough to fit within each core's cache(s), avoiding use of much slower main-system memory. Most applications, however, are not accelerated as much unless programmers invest effort in refactoring . The parallelization of software

1768-630: Is not the only constraint on system performance. Two processing cores sharing the same system bus and memory bandwidth limits the real-world performance advantage. The trend in processor development has been towards an ever-increasing number of cores, as processors with hundreds or even thousands of cores become theoretically possible. In addition, multi-core chips mixed with simultaneous multithreading , memory-on-chip, and special-purpose "heterogeneous" (or asymmetric) cores promise further performance and efficiency gains, especially in processing multimedia, recognition and networking applications. For example,

1836-520: The ARM big.LITTLE architecture. The research and development of multicore processors often compares many options, and benchmarks are developed to help such evaluations. Existing benchmarks include SPLASH-2, PARSEC, and COSMIC for heterogeneous systems. List of cities in Italy The following is a list of Italian municipalities ( comuni ) with a population over 50,000. The table below contains

1904-561: The Infinity Fabric interconnect. In March 2017, AMD announced plans to re-enter the server market with a platform based on the Zen microarchitecture , codenamed Naples, and officially revealed it under the brand name Epyc in May. That June AMD officially launched Epyc 7001 series processors, offering up to 32 cores per socket, and enabling performance that allowed Epyc to be competitive with

1972-521: The Zen ;3 microarchitecture. Milan chips will use Socket SP3 , with up to 64 cores on package, and support eight-channel DDR4 RAM and 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes. It also announced plans for the subsequent generation of chips, codenamed Genoa, that will be based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture and use Socket SP5 . Milan CPUs were launched by AMD on March 15, 2021. Milan-X CPUs were launched March 21, 2022. They use 3D V-Cache technology to increase

2040-492: The operating system (OS) support and to existing application software. Also, the ability of multi-core processors to increase application performance depends on the use of multiple threads within applications. Integration of a multi-core chip can lower the chip production yields. They are also more difficult to manage thermally than lower-density single-core designs. Intel has partially countered this first problem by creating its quad-core designs by combining two dual-core ones on

2108-732: The same integrated circuit die ; separate microprocessor dies in the same package are generally referred to by another name, such as multi-chip module . This article uses the terms "multi-core" and "dual-core" for CPUs manufactured on the same integrated circuit, unless otherwise noted. In contrast to multi-core systems, the term multi-CPU refers to multiple physically separate processing-units (which often contain special circuitry to facilitate communication between each other). The terms many-core and massively multi-core are sometimes used to describe multi-core architectures with an especially high number of cores (tens to thousands ). Some systems use many soft microprocessor cores placed on

It is noted to be a variant of the AMD Epyc, and is so similar that "there is little to no differentiation between the chips". It has been noted that there is "less than 200 lines of new kernel code" for Linux kernel support, and that

2312-506: The IC. Alternatively, for the same circuit area, more transistors could be used in the design, which increased functionality, especially for complex instruction set computing (CISC) architectures. Clock rates also increased by orders of magnitude in the decades of the late 20th century, from several megahertz in the 1980s to several gigahertz in the early 2000s. As the rate of clock speed improvements slowed, increased use of parallel computing in

2380-676: The Raphael lineup of processors, based on the Zen4 microarchitecture. Raphael support up to 16 cores on the AM5 socket. The fifth generation of Epyc processors were showcased by AMD at Computex 2024 on June 3. Named the Epyc 9005 series, it will come in two variants: Both variants are officially referred to under the Turin codename by AMD, although the nickname of "Turin Dense" has also been used to refer to

2448-463: The SP5 socket of its contemporary Genoa processors. Siena utilizes the same Zen 4c core architecture as Bergamo cloud native processors, allowing up to 64 cores per processor, and the same 6 nm I/O die as Bergamo and Genoa, although certain features have been cut down, such as reducing the memory support from 12 channels of DDR5 to only 6, and removing dual socket support. In May 2024, AMD launched

2516-473: The Xeon Platinum 8380. High memory bandwidth and extensive PCIe connectivity removed many bottlenecks, allowing all 96 cores to be utilized in workloads where previous generation Milan chips would have been I/O-bound. In June 2023, AMD began shipping the 3D V-Cache enabled Genoa-X lineup, a variant of Genoa that uses the same 3D die stacking technology as Milan-X to enable up to 1152 MB of L3 cache,

2584-485: The Zen 5c based CPUs. Turin Dense support the x2AVIC CPU feature Both of these processor series will be socket-compatible with the SP5 socket used by Genoa and Bergamo. Epyc 9005 series were launched in 10 October 2024 at AMD's Advancing AI event 2024. (160 in 2-socket systems) (160 in 2-socket systems) (160 in 2-socket systems) (160 in 2-socket systems) (160 in 2-socket systems) In February 2018, AMD also announced

2652-662: The alternatives. An especially strong contender for established markets is the further integration of peripheral functions into the chip. The proximity of multiple CPU cores on the same die allows the cache coherency circuitry to operate at a much higher clock rate than what is possible if the signals have to travel off-chip. Combining equivalent CPUs on a single die significantly improves the performance of cache snoop (alternative: Bus snooping ) operations. Put simply, this means that signals between different CPUs travel shorter distances, and therefore those signals degrade less. These higher-quality signals allow more data to be sent in

2720-436: The amount of L3 cache per CCX is reduced from 32 MB to 16 MB, and the frequency of the cores is reduced. Bergamo is socket compatible with Genoa, using the same SP5 socket and supporting the same CXL, PCIe, and DDR5 capacity as Genoa. In September 2023, AMD launched their low power and embedded 8004 series of CPUs, codenamed Siena. Siena utilizes a new socket, called SP6, which has a smaller footprint and pin count than

2788-535: The chip. Furthermore, the cores share some circuitry, like the L2 cache and the interface to the front-side bus (FSB). In terms of competing technologies for the available silicon die area, multi-core design can make use of proven CPU core library designs and produce a product with lower risk of design error than devising a new wider-core design. Also, adding more cache suffers from diminishing returns. Multi-core chips also allow higher performance at lower energy. This can be

2856-414: The competing Intel Xeon Scalable product line. In August 2019, the Epyc 7002 "Rome" series processors, based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture , launched, doubling the core count per socket to 64, and increasing per-core performance dramatically over the last generation architecture. In March 2021, AMD launched the Epyc 7003 "Milan" series, based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture . Epyc Milan brought

2924-593: The cores could work independently, such as in high-performance computing and big-data applications. First generation Epyc fell behind in database tasks compared to Intel 's Xeon parts due to higher cache latency. In 2021 Meta Platforms selected Epyc chips for its metaverse data centers. Epyc Genoa was well received, as it offered improved performance and efficiency compared to previous offerings, though received some criticism for not having 2 DIMMs per channel configurations validating, with some reviewers calling it an "incomplete platform". The following table lists

2992-430: The count can go over 10 million (and in one case up to 20 million processing elements total in addition to host processors). The improvement in performance gained by the use of a multi-core processor depends very much on the software algorithms used and their implementation. In particular, possible gains are limited by the fraction of the software that can run in parallel simultaneously on multiple cores; this effect

3060-507: The developer's programming skills and the consumer's expectations of apps and interactivity versus the device. A device advertised as being octa-core will only have independent cores if advertised as True Octa-core , or similar styling, as opposed to being merely two sets of quad-cores each with fixed clock speeds. The article "CPU designers debate multi-core future" by Rick Merritt, EE Times 2008, includes these comments: Chuck Moore [...] suggested computers should be like cellphones, using

3128-487: The devices using the first generation design. A "P" suffix denotes support for only a single socket configuration. Non-P models use 64 PCIe lanes from each processor for the communication between processors. Common features: In November 2018, AMD announced Epyc 2 at their Next Horizon event, the second generation of Epyc processors codenamed "Rome" and based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture . The processors feature up to eight 7 nm -based "chiplet" processors with

3196-630: The eight-core Epyc 7F32, the 16-core 7F52 and the 24-core 7F72, featuring base clocks up to 3.7 GHz (up to 3.9 GHz with boost) within a TDP range of 180 to 240 watts. The launch was supported by Dell EMC , Hewlett Packard Enterprise , Lenovo , Supermicro , and Nutanix . Common features: At the HPC-AI Advisory Council in the United Kingdom in October 2019, AMD stated specifications for Milan, Epyc chips based on

3264-457: The form of multi-core processors has been pursued to improve overall processing performance. Multiple cores were used on the same CPU chip, which could then lead to better sales of CPU chips with two or more cores. For example, Intel has produced a 48-core processor for research in cloud computing; each core has an x86 architecture. Since computer manufacturers have long implemented symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) designs using discrete CPUs,

3332-416: The increasing emphasis on multi-core chip design, stemming from the grave thermal and power consumption problems posed by any further significant increase in processor clock speeds, the extent to which software can be multithreaded to take advantage of these new chips is likely to be the single greatest constraint on computer performance in the future. If developers are unable to design software to fully exploit

3400-457: The issues regarding implementing multi-core processor architecture and supporting it with software are well known. Additionally: In order to continue delivering regular performance improvements for general-purpose processors, manufacturers such as Intel and AMD have turned to multi-core designs, sacrificing lower manufacturing-costs for higher performance in some applications and systems. Multi-core architectures are being developed, but so are

3468-443: The late 2010s, hexa-core (six cores) started entering the mainstream and since the early 2020s has overtaken quad-core in many spaces. The terms multi-core and dual-core most commonly refer to some sort of central processing unit (CPU), but are sometimes also applied to digital signal processors (DSP) and system on a chip (SoC). The terms are generally used only to refer to multi-core microprocessors that are manufactured on

3536-435: The low power Siena lineup of processors, based on the Zen 4c microarchitecture. Siena supports up to 64 cores on the new SP6 socket, which is currently only used by Siena processors. Siena uses the same I/O die as Bergamo, however certain features, such as dual socket support, are removed, and other features are reduced, such as the change from 12 channel memory support to 6 channel memory support. In May 2024, AMD launched

3604-441: The maximum L3 cache per socket capacity from 256 MB to 768 MB. Common features: On November 10, 2022, AMD launched the fourth generation of Epyc server and data center processors based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture, codenamed Genoa. At their launch event, AMD announced that Microsoft and Google would be some of Genoa's customers. Genoa features between 16 and 96 cores with support for PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 . There

3672-490: The new 4004 series of CPUs, codenamed Raphael. Sharing the same AM5 socket as desktop Ryzen CPUs. In contrast to desktop parts ECC memories are supported. AM5 motherboard manufacturers do not support the 4004 so available options are very limited to devices which are not suitable for desktop use. In October 10th, 2024, AMD launched the new 9005 series of CPUs, codenamed Turin. Sharing the same SP5 socket as Genoa and Bergamo, Turin came with numerous platform advancements, including

3740-497: The operating system of the network device. In digital signal processing the same trend applies: Texas Instruments has the three-core TMS320C6488 and four-core TMS320C5441, Freescale the four-core MSC8144 and six-core MSC8156 (and both have stated they are working on eight-core successors). Newer entries include the Storm-1 family from Stream Processors, Inc with 40 and 80 general purpose ALUs per chip, all programmable in C as

3808-408: The opposing view. He said multi-core chips need to be homogeneous collections of general-purpose cores to keep the software model simple. An outdated version of an anti-virus application may create a new thread for a scan process, while its GUI thread waits for commands from the user (e.g. cancel the scan). In such cases, a multi-core architecture is of little benefit for the application itself due to

3876-418: The other hand, on the server side , multi-core processors are ideal because they allow many users to connect to a site simultaneously and have independent threads of execution. This allows for Web servers and application servers that have much better throughput . Vendors may license some software "per processor". This can give rise to ambiguity, because a "processor" may consist either of a single core or of

3944-488: The problem, for example using a coordination language and program building blocks (programming libraries or higher-order functions). Each block can have a different native implementation for each processor type. Users simply program using these abstractions and an intelligent compiler chooses the best implementation based on the context. Managing concurrency acquires a central role in developing parallel applications. The basic steps in designing parallel applications are: On

4012-735: The resources provided by multiple cores, then they will ultimately reach an insurmountable performance ceiling. The telecommunications market had been one of the first that needed a new design of parallel datapath packet processing because there was a very quick adoption of these multiple-core processors for the datapath and the control plane. These MPUs are going to replace the traditional Network Processors that were based on proprietary microcode or picocode . Parallel programming techniques can benefit from multiple cores directly. Some existing parallel programming models such as Cilk Plus , OpenMP , OpenHMPP , FastFlow , Skandium, MPI , and Erlang can be used on multi-core platforms. Intel introduced

4080-587: The same instruction set , while AMD Accelerated Processing Units have cores that do not share the same instruction set). Just as with single-processor systems, cores in multi-core systems may implement architectures such as VLIW , superscalar , vector , or multithreading . Multi-core processors are widely used across many application domains, including general-purpose , embedded , network , digital signal processing (DSP), and graphics (GPU). Core count goes up to even dozens, and for specialized chips over 10,000, and in supercomputers (i.e. clusters of chips)

4148-406: The same 64 cores as Epyc Rome, but with much higher per-core performance, with the Epyc 7763 beating the Epyc 7702 by up to 22 percent despite having the same number of cores and threads. A refresh of the Epyc 7003 "Milan" series with 3D V-Cache, named Milan-X, launched on March 21, 2022, using the same cores as Milan, but with an additional 512 MB of cache stacked onto the compute dies, bringing

4216-462: The single thread doing all the heavy lifting and the inability to balance the work evenly across multiple cores. Programming truly multithreaded code often requires complex co-ordination of threads and can easily introduce subtle and difficult-to-find bugs due to the interweaving of processing on data shared between threads (see thread-safety ). Consequently, such code is much more difficult to debug than single-threaded code when it breaks. There has been

Turin also increased the core count and frequency offerings, with Turin offering 128 Zen 5 cores per socket, and Turin Dense offering 192 Zen 5c cores per socket. And with the highest frequency SKU (The EPYC 9575F) having a operating frequency of up to 5 GHz. AMD Epyc CPU codenames follow the naming scheme of Italian cities , including Milan , Rome , Naples , Genoa , Bergamo , Siena , Turin and Venice . Epyc CPUs use

4352-404: The system developer, a key challenge is how to exploit all the cores in these devices to achieve maximum networking performance at the system level, despite the performance limitations inherent in a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) operating system. Companies such as 6WIND provide portable packet processing software designed so that the networking data plane runs in a fast path environment outside

4420-500: The total amount of cache per CPU to 768 MB. In September 2021, Oak Ridge National Laboratory partnered with AMD and HPE Cray to build Frontier , a supercomputer with 9,472 Epyc 7453 CPUs and 37,888 Instinct MI250X GPUs, becoming operational by May 2022. As of November 2023, it is the most powerful supercomputer in the world according to the TOP500 , with a peak performance of over 1.6 exaFLOPS . In November 2021, AMD detailed

4488-505: The upcoming generations of Epyc, and unveiled the new LGA-6096 SP5 socket that would support the new generations of Epyc chips. Codenamed Genoa, these CPUs are based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture and built on TSMC 's N5 node, supporting up to 96 cores and 192 threads per socket, alongside 12 channels of DDR5 and 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes. Genoa also became the first x86 server CPU to support Compute Express Link 1.1, or CXL, allowing for further expansion of memory and other devices with

4556-463: The use of numerical libraries to access code written in languages like C and Fortran , which perform math computations faster than newer languages like C# . Intel's MKL and AMD's ACML are written in these native languages and take advantage of multi-core processing. Balancing the application workload across processors can be problematic, especially if they have different performance characteristics. There are different conceptual models to deal with
