Performance• The Intelligent Bricks architecture is designed for extremely highperformance– Scalability, bandwidth, power, cooling capability etc.– Larger cubes support many 100’s of GB/s of internal and external BW– It would be quite straightforward to build a PetaFLOP Cube• The prototype uses five year-old chips– Even so, the prototype Cube could –for example--store 5000 DVDquality movies and stream 900 simultaneously at full Mpeg2 (DVD)quality.– It is about 10x slower (per brick) than what could be built todayARC External Website, Intelligent Bricks, 2005
