What Do We Do With 10^12 Transistors? The Case For Precision Timing

[Films4You]

And I remember counting Clock Cycles on a Z80 CPU

Von Neumann Bottle Neck is a term I haven't heeard for a long time...

The same as the 640K barrier..

Not taked about because no one wants to fix it.

[Dudex58]

can someone make a vid for me what capacitors do and actually show all the diferent ones and send me the best

[Dudex58]

wow how do u getto make a 51.30 vid?

I was a little surprised that the thought this could help with parallel processing wasn't a bigger part of the discussion.

In addition the embedded world is very different than the area Intel plays in. Also FPGAs are pretty expensive for the embedded world.

I wonder what could be done with 100 simple CPUs?

I think it is silly to be talking about how to organize large number of processors, without talking about what the software is going to look like.

Even more interesting is what we would want to do with 10^12 transistors... Is excel or word going to be a good application for such hardware?

The general thesis is pretty flawed: You'd have to eliminate out of order processing, reduce superscalar execution to predictable conditions, & know where the data you are accessing is located ahead of time. If you want to enforce rigid constraints you just drag performance down to a slowest common denominator, its all missed opportunity for speed. Go to 42m, theres a 10s slide showing many of these dilemmas in bullet point form: the problem is caches & pipelines and packet switching.

it's more interesting to search for 'tile', 'raw processors', 'exposed wire delay'.

[semiliteratedgod]

a moron at google?

[semiliteratedgod]

the guy has absolutely no idea what terms like "mathematically chaotic" mean.

Not speaking about the problem of algorithmic determination of whether a Turing machine will stop on empty input or not

and other basic stuff...
