Succession

Rock Creek or the Single-Chip Cloud Computer (SCC) was the successor to Polaris, a 45 nm many-core microarchitecture designed by intel for high performance computing and many-core software research. The SCC, like Polaris, was a research project from Intel's Tera-scale Computing Research Program.
