IBM Moves Closer to New Class of Memory

[donutsprinkles99]

hhhmmmmm macbook air FTW

[stonerj0e]

that damned ankle bracelet !

[xadam2dudex]

so here is another tech that must have been buried to protect the profits of corporations..this was 2 yrs ago.. what happened to this memory ?

[PICLex]

indestructable.. Haha

[LordGryn]

For being one of the biggest IT firms in the world IBM sure makes shit videos, Windows Movie Maker? lol

"Let's get one of you kind of jumping in the air, spreading out your arms and legs."

"What for?"

"I'm the photographer here, now jump fucker! And smile while you're at it."

[darkflame85]

i was there in summer of 08 for ignite camp!! IMB ftw!!!

[douro20]

The technology is similar in scope to the "bubble" memory of the late 1970s.

[0prahTV]

Race track? More liek 8-track, mirite?

[logbeastie]

Guys, your all missing the big picture. With this amount of memory capacity at its size you need to start thinking BIGGER. Teleportation. Big Ballin.

[Watcher3223]

I don't think teleportation is possible even with the huge data capacity that this technology could offer.

First, you need sufficient amounts of energy and the ability to properly control it to disassemble and convert matter into a form that can be transmitted and then reassemble it back the way it was.

Then, you have to find a way to overcome the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and that one's an even bigger hurdle than data capacity and energy limits.

[autotaco]

error checking?? You'd need a few Thz I'd imagine. How long did it take us to get from 1 Mhz to 1ghz? Like 20 years or so?

[Watcher3223]

Error checking? If you're referring to a solution to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, then you don't understand what it is.

In quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle is that you can't measure both position and momentum of a particle at the same time.

[gimp34536]

maybe i missed the point, but where do you see the particles in a wire?

[Watcher3223]

Well, you've got to know what the particle is doing (where it is and how it's moving) before you can even convert it to something that can be sent in a wire to a remote location for reassembly.

If you don't know these things, then how can you put the particle exactly back where it belongs?

And, FYI, my post was in response to someone who said that this technology could lead to something like a "Star Trek" transporter. The transporter idea was what I was talking about, not the IBM technology.

What! You never heard of a Heisenberg Compensator? - Spock would be Shocked

[fakadan]

p my pusssy is wet d

[michaelqkd]

go wash it, stupid!

[312868540]

rate me 1-10

[Sgrunterundt]

Thanks for the talk today at NTNE. Looking forward to see it in trade.

[Doublethink20]

First of all i must say i am very impressed with engenuety of this design, and look forward to seeing if the nanowires will be able to be made verticaly.

Although i must say that Dr Stuart Parkin (and if its you reading this im sorry) during your lecture on this you had a ratio of aprox. 58:1 time of moving your glass of water to taking a sip, which as we all know is extreamly ineficent

[Kg277]

bubble memory all over again..

[AMVdude21183]

what does that have to do with racetrack memory?

[FancyFeast3]

Reminding you that imagination is no match for the posibilities nano wires can give us.

[shred5]

Alternative and probably superior solutions have been done for years now, problem is we just don't have the speed yet for it to be of any use for us.

[humantestdummy]

crysis :)

[shred5]

lol not close

[Dirtfire]

If it's faster, far more reliable, and uses less power, then it'll be quite useful.

[Dirtfire]

It'll still be much slower than conventional memory, however.

[fengyunsilly]

很好很强大

[thedude77777]

I thought IBM died 0.o

u learn new thing each day

[FancyFeast3]

IBM= Imortal Buisness Masters.

[devonrose742]

IBM= ingenius BEST machines

nothing beats IBM equipment. (no, not even crappy lenovo, I hate lenovo, if lou gerstner was still the CEO of IBM, they would still have the thinkpads - guaranteed. Thanks for NOTHING SAMUEL PALMISANO).

[devonrose742]

IBM did not die, I use all IBM equipment, my desktop, laptop, keyboards, mice, they are ALL 100% PURE IBM.

My intellistation though is having some issues, IBM is being painfully tardy in replying.

[foreverseethe]

I thought UBM doesn't do consumer harwarware anymore? Except (vid game chips). Thinkpad was the last leg in the harware business before it sold it off.

[devonrose742]

IBM produces workstations, servers, mice, keyboards, (certain monitors), and computers.

[ultort]

It's lenovo now

[Watcher3223]

No, it's not.

Only IBM's home computer and laptop business was sold to Lenovo.

IBM sold their hard drive operations to Hitachi.

But, IBM by themselves are still in operation in the United States. They still make computer workstations, servers, supercomputers, and so on.

[milesforwin]

Maybe hard drive speed will catch up with the rest of the computer system now.

[tutubei]

it looks great but, can we have it at home before next century?

[niuza001]

IBM says,10 years to replace the old type

[MDude1350]

Not only is this a very, very promising technology being demonstrated, but that is some great video production right there.

[phoneunlisted]

so does everyone else

[PUserMarcus]

Not me ;)

[AthosR0]

You too, you just don't know it yet. ;P

[dealerovski82]

I have a pet in my house *smile*

[JustRobots]

So it will kick start industry the same as when lasers were released in 1996 that created cd and dvd

burners ,,and that is the only reason we made it this far with storage ,,,,Awesome project!!

[superquadstudios]

looks great but wouldn't the wires that are used as the race track be capable of wearing out quickly with the data constantly being moved around it?

[abkdj1]

these are nanowires !

[AlanEisen]

Something like $1B just in in patent revenue last year.

[davidluk8]

IBM invent so many good things. However they always cannot make that for commercial uses and make some nice profit out of their invention. I do like the big Blue.
