Next generation supercomputers require drastically better energy efficiency to allow these systems to scale to exaflop computing levels.Virtually all major processor ven- dors and companies such asAMD, Intel, and IBM are developing high-performance and highly energy-efficient multicore processors and dedicating their current and future development and manufacturing to multicore products. It is conceivable that future multicore architectures can hold dozens or even hundreds of cores on a single die [3]. For instance, Adapteva’s Epiphany scalable manycore architecture consists of hundreds and thousands of RISC microprocessors, all sharing a single flat and unobstructed memory hierarchy, which allows cores to communicate with each other veryefficientlywithlowcore-to-corecommunicationoverhead.Thenumberofcores in this new type of massively parallel multicore architecture can be up to 4096 [1]. The Epiphany manycore architecture has been designed to maximize floating point computing power with the lowest possible energy consumption, aiming to deliver 100 and more gigaflops of performance at under 2 watts of power
