  • Microsoft Windows architect says ditch the kernel

    Really, the question is, not how do we do parallel, but what do we do with all these transistors? The key may not be in throwing more energy into refining techniques such as parallel programming, but rather rethinking the basic abstractions that…

  • Microsoft researchers open source Barrelfish OS

    Without a radical change in the way much of it is written, software, sadly, just can't go much faster anymore.Speed improvements that typically came from faster processors with more transistors have come close to their limit, where if the chips…

  • IBM scientists to use DNA to make chips

    That network of nanotubes and nanoparticles could act as the wires and transistors on future computer chips, the IBM scientists said.For decades chip makers have been etching smaller and smaller patterns onto the surface of chips to speed…

  • Future chips could use DNA

    Then we pour this DNA solution onto a silicon substrate, and the DNA assembles itself exactly where we want it to on the chip, and then we assemble the components on top of that.The attachment sites on DNA, which is where the nanowires and…

  • IBM prints molecular work of nano-art

    Such nano-wires are promising candidates for future transistors in microchips.Until now, the standard top-down micro-fabrication techniques produce such tiny particles by in effect carving them out of a bigger piece of material.

  • Intel creates new process for low-power smaller chips

    More power is required to raise a chip's clock speed, or the number of instructions it completes in a second.There are a variety of techniques to help prevent this but they all reduce the performance of transistors.

  • Power cuts are key for Intel at 65 nanometres

    The company will continue to use its strained silicon technique and low-k dielectric material on the new 65nm process technology, but will add an eighth metal interconnect layer and introduce power-saving sleep transistors into some chips built…

  • Intel prepares for next 20 years of chip making

    The performance and cost benefits from ever-shrinking transistors have driven Intel and the rest of the IT industry for the past 30 years, but advanced researchers are starting to plan for the day in which transistor features simply cannot be made…

  • Intel senior chip designer on microprocessor futures

    So, our challenge is that with the increased workloads and the effects we are seeing, we as architects are going to have to get creative and use the transistors we are given much more efficiently and to increase performance in other ways.
