IBM Team Working On Sugar Cube Size Super Computer
Research are going on and scientist from IBM believe that in coming 15 years World’s most influential and powerful Super Computer will shrink to size of sugar cubical blocks. Scientists have said that a pioneering research effort could shrink the world’s most influential supercomputer processors to the size of a sugar cube.
The advancement will see many computer processors piled on, toping one on each other and the cooling agent will be water flowing amid each other.
The mind working behind is thinking to reduce size and energy consumption too. Dr Bruno Michel a researcher involved in the project said future computer costs would be turning point on green testimonial somewhat than speed.
Michel and his group have previously built an example to reveal the water-cooling principle. Called Aquasar, it dwells in a rack superior than a refrigerator.
IBM guesses that Aquasar is roughly 50% more energy-efficient than the world’s important supercomputers.
Year back these computers were subjugated by hardware costs – For instance just 50 years back a transistors may cost you dollars. So the clear funda was that the hardware were really expensive and it carried the real cost.
Now in the present era, advancement of technology has made the cost reasonable and the price has come down to rupees and cents.
The overpowering cause of those power costs is in cooling, because working out power produces heat as a byproduct.
The Aquasar regulated up almost half as much, at 1.1 billion operations. And now they are planning to shrink it at the minimal level.
Mark Stromberg, the research analyst talking to the media at Gartner said that “We presently have built this Aquasar system that’s one frame full of processors. We plan that 10 to 15 years from now, we can collapse such a system in to one sugar cube – we’re going to have a supercomputer in a sugar cube.”
But he said that undertaking the finer details of cooling – to get rid of heat from just the right parts of the chip masses – would take momentous effort.
