lzprograma/Chip-Hexa
Experimental 16-core processor architecture exploring hexagonal interconnects, energy efficiency, and performance-per-cost optimization.
Chip-Hexa (LUNZ HEX-16) is an experimental, open 16-core processor architecture studied through pre-silicon simulation. Written in Python, it explores whether simple in-order 64-bit cores on a hexagonal network-on-chip can deliver good performance-per-watt and performance-per-cost without AI/GPU accelerators, evaluating trade-offs in caches, interconnect routing, and power management. It's early-stage research, not a validated chip.
Why now: It was just shared on Hacker News as a cost-benefit and energy-efficiency experiment with a novel hexagonal interconnect idea.
Who it is for: Computer architecture researchers, hobbyists, and anyone curious about NoC design and multicore trade-offs.
