Future Chips Will Be Hotter Than Ever

Cars That Think

For over 50 years now, egged on by the seeming inevitability of Moores Law , engineers have managed to double the number of transistors they can pack into the same area every two years. One layer would handle long wires and buffer these connections with specialized transistors; the other would deal only with connections under 10 mm.

32 Bits That Changed Microprocessor Design

Cars That Think

In the late 1970s, a time when 8-bit processors were state of the art and CMOS was the underdog of semiconductor technology, engineers at AT&T s Bell Labs took a bold leap into the future. We were trying to design something that could carry both voice and computation into the future. That didnt deter Bell Labs.

The Coming Quantum Boom: A New Industry a Century in the Making

Cars That Think

That Paris event made me realize that quantum engineering has evolved very differently from, say, nanotechnology. Quantum engineering involves math and phenomena that are fundamentally different from the classical physics engineers have so successfully exploited up to now.

A Crucial Optical Technology Has Finally Arrived

Cars That Think

Connections within a rack are electrical, but several startups hope to change this.) The engineering involved is so complex, Schow doesnt think its worthwhile unless doing things the old way is broken. That Nvidia managed to commercialize a microring-based silicon photonics engine is an amazing engineering feat, says Schow.

Faster, Safer Cars Come Into Focus With New Optical Network Tech

Cars That Think

Cameras, sensors, and displays all generate massive data streams—and the cables connecting them must keep pace. Crucially, it’s also future-proof: Automakers can reuse the same fiber and connectors when upgrading from 2.5 to 25, 50, or even 100 Gb/s—simply by swapping out transceivers and peripherals.
