'''Piton''' is a {{arch|64}} [[many-core microprocessor]] developed by [[Princeton]]'s Parallel Computing Group and announced in August of 2016. The [[massively parallel processor array|MPPA]] chip contains 25 modified [[OpenSPARC T1]] cores (an implementation of {{sparc|V9|SPARC V9}}). The chip, which was manufactured on [[IBM]]'s [[32 nm|32 nm SOI process]], operates at 1 GHz. The chip was presented in August 2016 at the [[Hot Chips]] 28.

The chip is designed as a [[massively parallel processor array]], with 25 cores ("tiles") arranged as a 2D grid of 5 by 5. Each core is a modified [[OpenSPARC T1]] which implements {{sparc|V9|SPARC V9}} capable of booting a standard [[operating system|OS]]. Piton implements a 64-bit [[network on chip]] (NoC) interconnect made of 3 physical networks operating with a 1 cycle/hop latency.
