Fi<\/b>rst US-patented, <\/b>low-power, multi-core technology from\u00a0<\/b>industry-government-university joint research<\/b><\/h3>\n

A team led by Waseda University professor\u00a0Hironori Kasahara<\/a>\u00a0has developed a revolutionary eco-friendly, low-power multicore processor and parallelizing compiler, which is ready for commercialization in a wide range of products, from automobiles to mobile phones to medical devices and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kasahara, also a researcher at its Green Computing Systems Research Organization,\u00a0will collaborate<\/span>\u00a0with\u00a0<\/span>Oscar Technology Corporation<\/a>\u00a0to develop products using<\/span>\u00a0the new microprocessor. This new technology is expected to spur dramatic improvements in electronic products, as well as enhancing Japan\u2019s energy conservation initiatives and disaster response measures.\u00a0The work is the subject of 30 patents<\/span>, including <\/span>US Patent No. 7895453 \u201cMultiprocessor System and Multigrain Parallelizing Compiler”<\/a>, and has been presented to the IEEE ISSCC, the leading international conference on semiconductors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This new multicore processor and parallelizing compiler set is the fastest in the world at executing application programs and is the first of its kind to dramatically reduce power consumption by controlling operational frequency and halting individual processor operations. It is capable of reducing power consumption of a smartphone multicore unit by approximately 89% during music compression and 75% during high resolution video decoding. In the medical field, the technology will make computations in heavy particle radiotherapy and high resolution picture compression for capsule endoscopes 55 times faster thanks to a 64-core processor. Further innovations are also expected to include development of the world’s first parallel-controlled automobile engine and\u00a0<\/span>128-core processor devices that can<\/span>\u00a0improve<\/span>\u00a0disaster prevention by completing seismic wave propagation calculations 110 times faster than present speeds.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

As early as 2016, Oscar Technology will announce an automatic parallelizing compiler for the development of control programs based on this research.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This research will be shown at the Waseda University Kasahara & Kimura Laboratory<\/a> and Oscar Technology booths at the Embedded Technology 2015<\/a> exhibition to be held November 18-20 at Pacifico Yokohama.<\/p>\n

About the Green Computing Systems Research Organization<\/h4>\n

Waseda University established the Green Computing Systems Research Organization<\/a>\u00a0(Yuuichi Matsushima, Director) in 2011 in order to conduct research that uses information technology to promote carbon reduction. It has strong ties with industry and works to implement new technologies such as ultra-low power consumption processors, cloud systems, smart grids, and more into society.<\/p>\n
