Line 1:
A '''many-core processing unit''' (or MPU for short) is a type of [[microprocessor]] characterized by
* many standard [[instruction set]] [[microprocessor]] [[Multi-core (computing)|cores]],
* integrated low-[[Latency (engineering)|latency]] [[memory controller]],
Line 85:
Also of value is that MPUs are sufficiently general as processors (they can run standard [[Linux]] [[Symmetric multiprocessing|SMP]] or lightweight simple [[Execution (computers)|executives]]) so that one MPU based computer design can address a wide selection of the applications listed above using different software loads. This reduces the number of different module types that are needed in a product line addressing both control and packet processing network functions, reducing development costs and inventory volumes.
