History and Future Trends of Multicore Computer Architecture

The multicore technology concept is centered on the parallel computing possibility that can boost computer efficiency and speed by integrating two or more CPUs (Central Processing Units) in a single chip. A multicore architecture places multiple processor cores and groups them as one physical processor. The primary goal is to develop a system that can handle and complete more than one task at the same time, thereby getting a better system performance in general. This paper will describe the history and future trends of multicore computer architecture.
