I.e. the problem is the state of processor, which need to be erased. So we can make stack of stateless processors, which will readily accept fresh data, because they will need to fill capacitors only, not discharge, and then discharged after use. Kind of multicore design, but with each core used for only 1/n of time at e.g. 1Thz frequency. Unlike parallel system, sequential calculation will work faster in such setup.
- rcxdude 9y agodischarging and charging capacitance is generally pretty symmetric. I don't think what you're suggesting would provide much benefit.
- v_lisivka 9y agoBut heating and cooling is not symmetrical. We can heat a processor much faster than cool it. So, if we need to cool a processor 10x faster than we can, just use 10x more processors, and switch them in order, to allow them cool after use in overclocked mode. Using this simple technique, frequency can be raised by few GHz, which is important for serial computations.
- pjc50 9y ago.. what? No, the capacitance issue is inherent in any kind of electrical signal sent over wires.
