From Feng: “The next frontier is to take high-performance computing, in particular supercomputers such as HokieSpeed, and personalize it for the masses.” This is one of my favorite things about technology. As few as five years ago I was drooling about an Intel C2D chip and looking forward to quad-core chips. Nowadays that's standard technology in smartphones. I'm amazed by the graphics performance in the new Asus Transformer Prime with the Tegra 3 chip which has up to five cores. The biggest problem with packing more power into smaller spaces is the battery consumption issue. Maybe there's no silver bullet for that only more efficient software and hardware usage.
