Apple’s iTouch Tablet: the top gadget of 2009

Recently I reported on a rumor that Apple is readying a tablet-sized iTouch for release sometime this year. With Macworld right around the corner, now’s about the time we’d expect leaks of such potential announcements to surface. If Apple really is.....

Rumor] Apple to Launch Multi Touch iMacs during MacWorld

some serious reports have started to surface that Apple would be launching multi-touch desktop and notebook computers during Macworld in January 2009, according to TG Daily. These reports have been aided by the fact that LG Electronics, which manufactures iMac displays, is ramping up its factories to mass produce multi-touch displays

Intel's latest UMPC Erath exhibited at Computex

It is good to hear that Intel has finally leaked its UMPC Erath at Computex 2007. This sensitive device comes with only 5.6″ display that swivels to offer you a landscape orientation especially when you view Word document and Excel spreadsheets in this undersized screen size.As far as concerned about its battery life it is reported as prolonged with the help of Intel’s new low power architecture silicon inside.It also comes with a QWERTY keyboard, the only information I have about it right now but I think it is for sure that this compact device will carry touch sensitive display to navigate through Windows but no info about price and accessibility; we will surely keep you posted.

The World's Fastest Computer

On May 26, at 3:30 in the morning, a $133 million supercomputer nicknamed Roadrunner broke the long-sought-after petaflop barrier: 1 quadrillion calculations per second. Built by IBM for Los Alamos National Laboratory, Roadrunner will be used primarily to simulate the effects of aging on nuclear weapons. Next up: the exaflop barrier.

Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science and technology whose theme is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale



One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10-9 of a meter. To put that scale in context, the comparative size of a nanometer to a meter is the same as that of a marble to the size of the earth.Or another way of putting it: a nanometer is the amount a man's beard grows in the time it takes him to raise the razor to his face.



Tera-scale computers which are based on 10 to 100s of integrated processor cores perform 3 workloads in Model based computing: "Recognition object or pattern in a database, data mining (source the data base to find identical objects or related patterns that match the target object), & information synthesis (you mine out data, different patterns & objects, put together in a way that user can digest; user can derive useful solutions)" quoted from Vived De; fellow of Intel.



Let us briefly compare side by side, the main offerings from both Intel & AMD quad core microprocessors. You can see that AMD's strategy is taking the competitors weakness as its strength. AMD keeps mentioning about its superior 2mb L3 cache; touted as better than any of its competitors while Intel is in a competition with its own past achievements. Intel is staying away from a head to head "chicken play" with AMD by producing new products much faster than its nearest competitors even though it misses a few innovative hits like a new L3 cache.



However, Intel more than compensates by improving it microprocessors in other avenues like


SSE4 instructions & more efficient materials like the hafnium metal gate silicon technology. Intel's speed of having new products into the consumer market is the main reason why it is the microprocessor market leader today. People usually want a new product they can use now rather than wait for a marginally better product after a few months. AMD's chance to be the new market leader will come from its ability to do the same like Intel; not only talk the talk but also walk the walk.



The Dunnington 6 core microprocessors from Intel are the next in line to be released to the consumer market. Users of the Dunnington microprocessors will own a piece of Peta flop level computing technology. The Peta flop computing technology, a computer that calculates a thousand trillion flotation points per second, exists in Intel's lab demo of a powerful peta flop computer that utilizes Dunnington microprocessors.
It seems that from a marketing point of view, Intel is using its research & development arm to show consumers the full capability of its microprocessors. It is unlikely that an individual home user will be buying like 60 or more pieces of Dunnigton microprocessors to build a peta flop home computer. Nonetheless, the appeal of it exists, & people will go like "You know, I own a 6 core Intel microprocessor that has peta-flop computing potential!" One must admit that it is a very appealing prospect!

Multiprocessing

Cray designed many supercomputers that used multiprocessing heavily.
Some computers may divide their work between one or more separate CPUs, creating a multiprocessing configuration. Traditionally, this technique was utilized only in large and powerful computers such as supercomputers, mainframe computers and servers. However, multiprocessor and multi-core (multiple CPUs on a single integrated circuit) personal and laptop computers have become widely available and are beginning to see increased usage in lower-end markets as a result.
Supercomputers in particular often have highly unique architectures that differ significantly from the basic stored-program architecture and from general purpose computers. They often feature thousands of CPUs, customized high-speed interconnects, and specialized computing hardware. Such designs tend to be useful only for specialized tasks due to the large scale of program organization required to successfully utilize most of a the available resources at once. Supercomputers usually see usage in large-scale simulation, graphics rendering, and cryptography applications, as well as with other so-called "embarrassingly parallel" tasks.
