Overview[edit]
The SpiNNaker engine is using the SpiNNaker multicore System-On-Chip (SoC) as single nodes. Each chip contains two dies: The first die holds 18 ARM968 cores, 32kB SRAM, 64kB data tightly coupled memory (DTCM) per core, 32kB instruction tightly coupled memory (ITCM) per core, an Ethernet interface and a custom interconnect fabric. The second die within the SoC holds 128MB of shared SDRAM.
