Video: 64 Bit and Multiple Quad Core Processors Video Demonstration

This is a demonstration of high end processors. This shows a 64 bit MIPS 5Kc running in a single core simple platform and then also in a manycore platform of 24 MIPS64 processors. It continues with a demonstration of an ARM Cortex-A9MP booting linux, and then shows the Imperas simulation technology really scales even with the most complex processors - by running a platform of 4 x ARM Versatile Express, each with a Cortex-15MPx4 running SMP linux. This is 16 processors running Linux - and it is still very fast and very interactive to use.
