DEVICE AND METHOD OF EFFICIENT PARALLEL COMPUTING Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC G06F1/324 G06F1/329 G06F1/3296 G06F9/50 

FIELD: computing systems.

SUBSTANCE: parallel processing systems and in particular parallel processing systems that have increased efficiency in terms of performance/power consumption. The invention provides a computing unit for operation in a parallel computing system, wherein the computing unit includes a plurality of processing elements and an interface for connecting the computing unit to other components of the computing system, wherein each processing element has a nominal maximum processing rate NPR, and each processing element includes a corresponding memory block so that data can be transferred from the memory block at a given maximum data transmission rate MBW, and the interface provides a maximum data transmission rate CBW. Moreover, in order to provide a given maximum computing performance for the computing unit PP, obtained by the number n of processing elements operating at the nominal maximum processing speed, so that PP = n × NPR operations per second, the computing unit includes an integer multiple of f, multiplied by n processing elements, where f is greater than one and each processing element is limited to operate at the processing rate NPR/f. A method for functioning of the computing unit is also proposed.

EFFECT: increase in the efficiency of parallel processing systems in terms of performance and energy consumption.
