TILE-Gx 3000 Series

The ultimate cloud computing processor, co-developed with the world’s leading cloud computing companies, offers up to 10x the performance per-watt of Intel SandyBridge

Optimized for Cloud Datacenter Applications

The TILE-Gx™ 3000 series offers the high performance and low power required for server applications in cloud datacenters. The TILE-Gx processor cores are true 64-bit cores with 40 bits of physical address space making them ideal for cloud computing applications. The TILE-Gx series features 36 to 100 cores, each running at up to 1.5 GHz and provide coherent I/O directly into the caches to deliver ultimate low-latency. Integrating PCIe controllers, memory controllers, and 1 Gb/10 Gb Ethernet ports, the TILE-Gx is a complete server on a chip saving space cost and power over multichip solutions.

Most Scalable Processor Family

The TILE-Gx 3000 family is the most scalable server processor in the industry with 36, 64 and 100 cores on a single device. All three processors are software compatible allowing for seamless deployment across multiple server form factors and performance levels.

Best Performance Per Watt

The TILE-Gx family combines Tilera’s patented iMesh™ technology with the Tile Architecture™ to deliver the most efficient and high powered processor available. Low latency and high bandwidth interconnects ensure the 64-bit cores 
are able to maximize their performance and minimize system bottle necks. This efficiency allows each processor to run at lower clock speeds, saving power, yet still deliver the performance demanded by high speed networking applications.

Integrated Solution

The Tile architecture integrates a complete set of memory and I/O controllers, eliminating the need for an external north bridge or south bridge. This integration dramatically reduces the amount of board space required allowing for smaller form factors. It eliminates discrete components which reduces BOM costs and design complexity to lower system costs and speed time to market.

Standard Software Tools

Tilera’s Multicore Development Environment™ (MDE) is a complete Linux-based distribution with associated tools chain 1000s of standard RPM packages and support for the majority of popular languages. The MDE enables developers to work with Tilera-based servers just like any other linux servers they work on. 

The MDE leverages Open Source software and the developer’s existing software code base to achieve impressive results in an extremely short period of time. As developers become more familiar with large-scale multicore, they can take advantage of enhanced tools and libraries offered in the MDE.

Tilera's MDE includes:

  • Centos-compatible Linux 2.6.36 with support for 2,000+ standard RPM packages
  • Standard tool chain including GCC, g++ , gdb, gprof, oprofile, perf event, mudflap, eclipse
  • Full support of standard languages including ANSI C/C++, Java, PHP, Perl, Python
  • Advanced programming frameworks including Erlang, TBB, open MP
  • Standard management protocols including IPMI 2.0,  SNMP, Syslog, Telnet, SSH, TFTP, FTP, SCP
