Internet on-a-chip allows any number of cores to be networked into single-chip supercomputer, using a novel dual-network topology that MIT claims is a first: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog
Twin Internet-like networks on-a-chip preserve cache coherency for 32 cores, called tiles, according to MIT.
Cognitive computers—cognizers—aim to instill human-like intelligence into our smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices using microchips that emulate the human brain. Dubbed the “Future of Computing” by the NYTimes, one of the “Best Innovation Moments of 2011” by the Washington Post and one of “10 World Changing Ideas” in a Scientific American cover story “A Computer Chip that Thinks” this book reveals how neuroscience and computer science are merging in a new era of intelligent machines light-years beyond Apple's Siri, IBM's Watson.
