We just caught wind that GM is now talking about processing power on their new cars! GM stated in a press released that the 2011 Buick Regal’s Ecotec 2.0L engine microcontroller is the fastest in the industry. The company said that the 32-bit chip can do 125 million operations per second and that it features three megabytes of integrated flash memory. For the Regal driver, this means more precise fuel delivery for the best-possible fuel economy, emissions and performance. GM even said that their microcontroller has some similarities with the central processor unit (CPU) in a home computer but is optimized specially for engine control. We aren't sure about overclocking, but down the road we are sure that you'll be able to do more with these Engine Control Modules (ECM) that each and every modern car contains.
“The ECM’s microcontroller executes the commands such as when to inject fuel into the engine’s combustion chambers,” said Karla Wallace, GM senior manager, global powertrain electronics engineering. “The software executed by the microcontroller comes from almost a million lines of code developed by GM and uses over 300 kilobytes of calibration data.”
