Template:mpu Am2012 was an MPPA introduced in late 2006 by Ambric. This model was made of 12 Brics arranged as a grid, making up a total of 96 32-bit RICS-like cores operating asynchronously at 1-333 MHz.

Architecture

Main article: Am2000 § Architecture

The Am2012 is made of 12 homogeneous 'Brics' laid out in a grid to form 96 cores and 96 RAM units.

General layout:

• 12x Brics
  • 2x Computer Unit (CU)
    • 2x SRD 32-bit CPU
    • 2x RD 32-bit CPU
  • 2x RAM Unit (RU)
    • 4x 2 KB SRAM bank

Cache

The Am2012 contains 12 Brics, each with its own RAM Unit (RU) of 13 kB of SRAM for a total of 156 kB of SRAM.
