  1. Monster Chip like Monster Home? • “…what San Franciscans have come to know as a monster home--a 6,000-square-foot behemoth that would tower five stories high, casting neighbors in its shadow and stretching clear to its lot lines.” “San Franciscans Fight Monster Home Invasion,” LA Times, 7/13/00 • Bay Area cities using ordinances to stop them • Era of wretched excess: home,PC • Memory for branch prediction bigger than minicomputer memory! • Word processors that need 16 MB!

  2. Desktop vs. Gadgets/Server • Desktop has warped design space: max die size, max SPEC, power be damned • Gadgets: Cost/Power/Performance • MIPS per joule, MIPS per dollar • 2001: 500 – 550 million cell phone handsets, each with 32-bit MPU + DSP vs. 120 million PCs • Servers: Power/Throughput • Tasks per second v. SPECmark • Future: low power so combined with disks

  3. ~1000X Sustaining Moore’s Law vs. MIPS/$? • Scaled 32-bit, 5-stage RISC II 1/1000th of current MPU, die size or transistors Intel MPU die RISC II die

  4. New view: ClusterOnaChip (CoC) • Inspiration: Google • Search engine for world: 100M/day • Economical, scalable build block:PC cluster today 6000 PCs, 12000 disks • Advantages in fault tolerance, scalability, cost/performance • 32-bit MPU as the new Nand Gate • “Cluster on a chip” with 100s of MPUs enable amazing MIPS/$, MIPS/watt for cluster applications • MPUs combined with dense memory + system on a chip CAD + quick turn fab • 30 years ago Intel 4004 used 800 gates: when 800 MPU chip?
