Ultrahigh-Speed Communications Sets Efficiency Record

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ANAHEIM, Calif., and YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y., March 19, 2013 — Ultrafast supercomputers that operate at speeds 100 times faster than current systems may now be one step closer to reality. A team of IBM researchers working on a DARPA-funded program has found a way to transmit massive amounts of data with unprecedented low power consumption, increasing the speed by 66 percent and shattering the previous power efficiency record by one-half. Scientists predict that the supercomputers of the future — so-called exascale computers — will enable them to model the global climate, run molecular-level simulations of entire cells, design...Read full article
