Series of computer microprocessors developed by Jiāngnán Computing Lab
Sunway , orShenWei , (Chinese :申威 ), is a series of computermicroprocessors , developed byJiangnan Computing Lab (江南计算技术研究所 Wuxi ,China .[ 1] reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture, but details are still sparse.
The Sunway series microprocessors were developed mainly for the use of the military of thePeople's Republic of China . It is expressed on online forums that the originalmicroarchitecture is believed to be inspired by theDEC Alpha .[ 2] [better source needed The SW-3 is thought especially to be based on theAlpha 21164 .[ 3]
Jack Dongarra states about the follow-onSW26010 , the "ShenWei-64 Instruction Set (this is NOT related to the DEC Alphainstruction set )", and doesn't say it's a new instruction set from the three prior generations he names;[ 4] [ 5]
First generation, 2006 Single-core 900 MHz Second generation, 2008 Dual-core 1400 MHz SMIC 130 nm process70–100 W [ edit ] Fourth generation, 2016 64-bit RISC processor Manycore architecture, with 4 CPU clusters on a chip, each comprising 64 lightweight compute CPUs with an additional management CPU, linked by anetwork-on-a-chip [ 7] ^ Wu, Yimian (23 May 2018)."China Supports Local Semiconductor Firms By Adding Them To Government Procurement List" .
