Scumbria,
"Distributed computing among special purpose processors will be
the trend of the future."
Yes, I was thinking the same thing, but I'm just not sure its the total solution. <ggg> Someone pointed me to a private outfit that is building incredible multiple processor machines on the cheap- can't find them just now. There was a small thread...do you know?
I've got to believe integration will be big, too. I'll never work on the solution so I sure won't lose sleep, either. I just believe the speed limit will alter processors as we know them. Gilder says, in effect, the processor will be on the memory as opposed to the memory being on the processor...if I weren't such a layman in these matters, I would remember the reason he gave for saying that. The significance, he says, is that companies with memory expertise will be important in the quest to solve the problem- if I understand him correctly. |
