Peter Cochrane's Blog: Software - keep it short and sweet
Comment We have been used to seeing transistor density and data storage double (thereabouts) year-on-year. Thousands of features have gone unnoticed and unused, while hard drives have had to grow from megabytes to gigabytes, and... [07 Sep 2009]
Scalability of 3D-Integrated Arithmetic Units in High-Performance Microprocessors
White Paper It explores the behavior of the 3D-integrated arithmetic circuits with increasing issue-width (parallel execution capability), transistor sizing, and temperature. It demonstrates that the 3D-integrated... [11 Jul 2008]
Process Variation Aware Transistor Sizing for Load Balance of Multiple Paths in Dynamic CMOS for Timing Optimization
White Paper In this paper, a process variation aware transistor sizing algorithm for dynamic CMOS circuits while considering the Load Balance of Multiple Paths (LBMP) is proposed. The complexity in timing... [10 Jul 2008]
Photos: Modern computing balancing on the head of a pin?
Photo They don't make them like this anymore - silicon.com casts an eye back over the ever-shrinking transistor, the invention that became the cornerstone of computing and the modern world. The transistor was... [29 Jan 2008]
Peter Cochrane's Blog: NGNs - real or imaginary?
Comment My first (personal) experience of a NGN came with the arrival of the transistor which immediately reduced equipment sizes and power consumption, and increased the number of speech circuits per pair. The... [02 May 2007]
Intel outlines latest breakthroughs with silicon
News Other alternations in the 65-nanometer generation will come in the oxide gate, a thin layer that helps control the flow of electrons between a transistor's source and the drain, a key element in controlling whether a... [31 Aug 2004]
IBM in a sticky situation with chips and glue
News To prove it works, IBM created flash-memory-like chips containing silicon nanocrystals, which give a thin layer inside a transistor that can help memory chips retain an electric charge and prevent data corruption. [08 Dec 2003]
Intel to replace silicon
News The chip giant is looking at revamping two fundamental elements of its transistors - the transistor gate and the gate dielectric - so its chips will continue to increase in speed and performance. Currently, the gate,... [05 Nov 2003]
