Multi-core and memory

Kind of sounds vaguely similar to something like: http://groups.google.com/group/comp....fd728c57a75d9a Humm...... When you get some _really_ free time, go ahead and spend a few minutes thinking along the line of: http://groups.google.com/group/comp....74295430deb430 (Please read entire thread...) WOW! Nano/Bio-Gates... Very Slick! Some genius actually created workable gates out of several molecules! :^O Any Thoughts? Sure. may be important and may not be. Remember tunnel diodes? Josephson Junctions? High Temp superconductors? AI? Xray lithography? VLIW? All were going to change the world. |

On the other hand, some technology fails when it first appears, only to succeed years, decades or centuries later as enabling technology, constraints or requirements change. One always needs to consider timescale when planning any research or design project :-) Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Multi-core and memory

news In comp.arch Chris Thomasson wrote: I am talking about integrating a multi-core processor with a 2GB of DDR3 memory in a single pluggable card. I think the biggest problem you'd have with that would be thermal if you want all that in a DIMM-like form factor. If you need 30 in^3 of thermal management infrastructure for each one then you might as well have discrete processors and separate memory maybe. I was just wondering of that could be possible, or if its a pipe-dream... A heat-pipe-dream. :^D There has to be a way to address the heat issue. Perhaps with very clever liquid cooling techniques and fans. Humm... |

It is obviously impossible to keep ramping up the heat density, even ignoring matters like machine room capacities and global warming. So, as always in engineering when faced with an insoluble problem, the solution is to change the problem. We already know how to solve this for another 10-20 years, but the political will is lacking. All it requires is gritting our teeth and saying "no, you CAN'T have continually increasing performance of your serial spaghetti codes - we are up against the physical limits - now get on with delivering a software revolution."
