I'm kind of skeptical we'll move off of silicon any time soon, but fortunately, I think there's still a lot we can do with silicon. We aren't nearly done optimizing hardware. Then there's the promise of 3D stacking, optical interconnects, more cores and more memory bandwidth.
- monk_e_boy 11y ago> optical interconnects This leads on to less heat which means you can stack the layers more. 3D chips. Cram more cores in, layer memory into the mix.
- fudged71 11y agoFrom an article a while ago, I was convinced that the next generation of computers would be built on memristors... Allowing you to dynamically allocate memory and computation resources in a 3D framework. And photonics would be used to connect multiple computing units. Is any of this feasible or realistic?
- dTal 11y agoSounds a bit like using FPGAs for everything. I actually think we'll start seeing a lot more of that sort of thing once tooling for FPGAs stops sucking.
