'High-rise' technique promises handheld supercomputer

摘要

At last month's IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in San Francisco, CA, a Stanford University team led by Associate Professor Subhasish Mitra and Professor H. S. Philip Wong described how to build "high-rise" chips that could significantly outperform current configurations while avoiding current dataflow traffic jams. The work was done in collaboration with Professors Krishna Saraswat and Yoshio Nishi of Stanford University. Mitra notes that,"With further development this architecture could lead to computing performance that is much, much greater than anything vailable today." Wong concurs, adding that "With this new architecture, electronics manufacturers could put the power of a supercomputer in your hand."
