A comment on Programming a 144-computer Chip to Minimize Power (2013). Parent comment
”... its eight processors, called cogs, that can perform simultaneous tasks independently or cooperatively...”
” True parallel processing with eight symmetric 32-bit processors (cogs) in one microcontroller”
”20 MIPS per cog, 160 MIPS total with all cogs running”
”All eight cogs are driven from the System Clock; they each maintain the same time reference and all active cogs execute instructions simultaneously.”

The shared hub memory is only accessible to one core at once and which one has access is switched between in round robin fashion, each core getting a turn to access it once every 16 clock cycles. Perhaps that’s what you were thinking of?
