ABSTRACT

Multi-core processors represent a major evolution in computing technology. Microprocessors have revolutionized the world we live in and continuous efforts are being made to manufacture not only faster chips but also smarter ones. A number of techniques such as data level parallelism, instruction level parallelism and hyper threading (Intel?s HT) already exists which have dramatically improved the performance of microprocessor cores.[1, 2] This paper briefs on evolution of multi-core processors followed by introducing the technology and its advantages in today?s world. The paper concludes by detailing on the challenges currently faced by multi-core processors and how the industry is trying to address these issues.
