BASTA MAY NABASA AKO SA NET na YUNG HP GUMAGAWA NG BAGONG KLASE NG PROCESSOR yung may capacitor hindi transistor lng laman ng processor.....
If Hewlett-Packard founders Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard are spinning in their graves, they may be due for a break. Their namesake company is cooking up some awfully ambitious industrial-strength computing technology that, if and when it's released, could replace a data center's worth of equipment with a single refrigerator-size machine.
That's what they're calling it at HP Labs: "the Machine." It’s basically a brand-new type of computer architecture that HP’s engineers say will serve as a replacement for today’s designs, with a new operating system, a different type of memory, and superfast data transfer. The company says it will bring the Machine to market within the next few years or fall on its face trying. “We think we have no choice,” says Martin Fink, the chief technology officer and head of HP Labs, who is expected to unveil HP's plans at a conference Wednesday.-----bloomberg.com
techspot.com ------------ HP is now estimating they won’t be able to ship products containing memristor technology until at least 2014, going against predictions late last year that such technology would be feasible in 2013. The problem isn’t with the technology itself, as Stan Williams of the Memristor Research Group at HP puts it, but rather the economics and timing behind the introduction.
During a recent presentation at a conference in Oxnard, California, Williams said that HP would have something technologically viable by the end of next year. He goes on to explain that the science and technology are the easy parts and that literally any foundry could make memristors tomorrow.
Memristor technology is an electrical component that controls the stream of electrons flowing through it but can additionally “remember” its last charge. This is significant as one memristor is described as being as computationally powerful as 10 transistors.
Memristors could make CPUs and RAM obsolete
Dubbed the "memory of the future," a new type of integrated circuit combining resistors with memory capabilities was recently shown off by HP and touted as a possible alternative to transistors in both computation and storage devices. Today, these functions are handled by separate chips, meaning data must be transferred between them, slowing down the computation and wasting energy. Could this new tech mean the unification of memory and CPU?
