Abstract
An architecture in which the cores of a multicore processor are paired together. An internal memory may be connected to the pair of cores via separate leads. The pair of cores can run at reversed clock phases. A clock generator may be responsible for generating a clock signal that can be provided as input to one core, and a signal inverter may be responsible for inverting the clock signal so as to generate an inverted clock signal that can be provided as input to the other core.
