Exaflop computing: Moore's Law isn't dead, It's Moved to Warp Speed
By Jason Perlow | December 2, 2010
And now IBM has figured out a way to use photons (light) for the circuity vs. semiconductors (wires)!
"Exaflop computing: Moore's Law (isn't dead, It's Moved to Warp Speed"
"The most powerful supercomputer in the world, the Tianhe-1A, has achieved 2.67 Petaflop/s or 2.67 quadrillion floating point operations, per second. But compared to future nanophotonics-based systems, assessing the legacy performance of the Tianhe-1A will be like comparing the top speed of a Segway personal transport to that of a Bugatti Veyron. Or an X-15."
So what does this mean to us? Well you can gene sequence your baby for future diseases and maybe they will come up with a "half accurate" climate model so we will actually know whether there is global warming and whether we are at all responsible! And even more importantly we can better search for aliens! And of course the military will find all sorts of applications! Also, we can make better robots so we can do less physical work and get even more obese ! 3D movies will improve and so will holographs (image of the beast?)!
