Sunway, or ShenWei, (Chinese:申威), is a series of microprocessors developed by Jiāngnán Computing Lab (江南计算技术研究所) in Wuxi, China. Details of the architecture are still sparse.

History of Sunway processors

The Sunway series of microprocessors was developed primarily for the use of the military of the People's Republic of China. The original microarchitecture is believed to be inspired by DEC Alpha.[1] [2] The SW-3 in particular is felt to be based on the Alpha 21164.[3]

Sunway SW-1

  • First generation, 2006
  • Single-core
  • 900 MHz

Sunway SW-2

  • Second generation, 2008
  • Dual-core
  • 1400 MHz
  • SMIC 130 nm process
  • 70–100 W

Sunway SW-3 / SW1600

  • Third generation, 2010
  • 16-core, 64-bit RISC [4]
  • 975–1200 MHz [4]
  • 65 nm process
  • 140.8 GFLOPS @ 1.1 GHz
  • Max memory capacity: 16 GB
  • Peak memory bandwidth: 68 GB/s
  • Quad-channel 128-bit DDR3
  • Four-issue superscalar
  • Two integer and two floating-point execution units
  • 7-stage integer pipeline and 10-stage floating-point pipeline
  • 43-bit virtual address and 40-bit physical address
  • Up to 8 TB virtual memory and 1 TB of physical memory supported
  • L1 cache: 8 KB instruction cache and 8 KB data cache[4]
  • L2 cache: 96 KB[4]
  • 128-bit system bus

Sunway SW26010

See also: SW26010
  • Fourth generation, 2016
  • 64-bit RISC processor
  • Cell microprocessor-like architecture, with each general-purpose processing core mated with 64 SIMD vector processors
