Tera-scale Computing Research Program

The Intel® Tera-scale Computing Research Program is a worldwide effort to advance computing technology for the next decade. By scaling multi-core architectures to 10s to 100s of cores and embracing a shift to parallel programming, we aim to enable applications and capabilities only dreamt of today.

"Tera" means 1 trillion, or 1,000,000,000,000. Our vision is to create plaforms capable performing of trillions of calculations per second (teraflops) on trillions of bytes of data (terabytes).
