#Why Aren't Supercomputers Getting Faster Like They Used To? Currently, the world most powerful supercomputers can ramp up to more than a thousand trillion operations per second,
or a petaflop. But computing power is not growing as fast as it has in the past.
On Monday, the June 2015 listing of the Top 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world revealed the beginnings of a plateau in performance growth.
Supercomputer power is expected, for the most part to follow the same curve. In the past, that was exactly the case.
The cost of the electricity to power these behemoths has played also a role in slowing the speed of supercomputer development. an somebody make a computer that has higher performance?
Other laboratories could reach the performance of the number one supercomputer, Tianhe-2 if they want to pay US $390 million for the same technology,

Today Google s secretive Deepmind startup which it bought for $400 million earlier this year unveils a prototype computer that attempts to mimic some of the properties of the human brain s short-term working memory.
The new computer is a type of neural network that has been adapted to work with an external memory.
The result is a computer that learns as it stores memories and can later retrieve them to perform logical tasks beyond those it has been trained to do.
Such a computer should be able to parse a simple sentence like Mary spoke to John by dividing it into its component parts of actor action and the receiver of the action.
In Turing s famous description of a computer the memory is the tickertape that passes back and forth through the computer and which stores symbols of various kinds for later processing.

The ability to control the light with so many micromirrors provides a high-resolution, highly tunable system that can also turn on

#Intel Says Laptops and Tablets with 3-D Vision Are Coming Soon Laptops with 3-D sensors in place of conventional webcams will go on sale before the end of this year according to chip maker Intel
which is providing the sensing technology to manufacturers. And tablets with 3-D sensors will hit the market in 2015 the company said at its annual developers conference in San francisco on Wednesday.
Intel first announced its 3-D sensing technology at the Consumer electronics Show in January (see Intel s 3-D Camera Heads to Laptops and Tablets.
It has developed two different types of depth sensor. One is designed for use in place of a front-facing webcam to sense human movement such as gestures.
Both sensors allow a device to capture the color and 3-D shape of a scene making it possible for a computer to recognize gestures
Bhowmik also showed how data from a tablet s 3-D sensor can be used to build very accurate augmented reality games where a virtual character viewed on a device s screen integrates into the real environment.
As the tablet showing the character was moved it stayed perched on the tabletop and even disappeared behind occluding objects.
Intel also showed how the front-facing 3-D sensors can be used to recognize gestures to play games on a laptop
but Kinect devices are too large to fit inside a laptop or tablet. Some of Intel s demos were rough around the edges suggesting that their compact sensors are less accurate than the larger ones of Microsoft.
On Monday Dell announced that the sensors will appear later this year in its Venue 8 7000 tablet which is only six millimeters thick thinner than any other tablet on the market t

#Google Launches Effort to Build Its Own Quantum computer Google is about to begin designing and building hardware for a quantum computer a type of machine that can exploit quantum physics to solve problems that would take a conventional computer
But independent tests published earlier this year found no evidence that D-Wave s computer uses quantum physics to solve problems more efficiently than a conventional machine.
Quantum computers could be immensely faster than any existing computer at certain problems. That s because qubits working together can use the quirks of quantum mechanics to quickly discard incorrect paths to a solution
Since showing off its first machine in 2007 D-Wave has irritated academic researchers by making claims for its computers without providing the evidence its critics say is needed to back them up.
Larger systems of such qubits could be configured to run just about any kind of algorithm depending on the problem at hand much like a conventional computer.
It concluded that in the tests run on the computer there was no evidence of quantum speedup.
Without that critics say D-Wave is nothing more than an overhyped and rather weird conventional computer.
and that Google S d-Wave computer will be upgraded with a new 1000 qubit processor when it becomes available e

#How to Break Cryptography With Your Bare Hands With enough technical savvy, simply touching a laptop can suffice to extract the cryptographic keys used to secure data stored on it.
The trick is based on the fact that the roundelectrical potential in many computers fluctuates according to the computation that is being performed by its processorncluding the computations that take place
when you touch the metal chassis of such laptops, and analyzing that signal using sophisticated software,
Or that wire can make contact anywhere on the body of an attacker touching the computer with a bare hand (sweaty hands work best.
or USB cable attached to the computer, or even wirelessly with sensitive voltage-detection equipment.
The work contributes to a growing body of evidence that regardless of the software protections people place on computers
that analyzing the power consumption of a computer can reveal cryptographic keys. The good news is that analyzing subtle trends in power usage can also reveal
whether a computer is being attacked (see iny Changes in Energy use Could Mean Your Computer Is Under attack. verall,

#IBM Chip Processes Data Similar to the Way Your Brain Does A new kind of computer chip,
The Synapse chip breaks with a design known as the Von neumann architecture that has underpinned computer chips for decades.
A nearby laptop that had been programed to do the same task processed the footage 100 times slower than real time
and they hope to build a supercomputer using thousands. When data is fed into a Synapse chip it causes a stream of spikes,
But those networks require giant clusters of conventional computers. As an example Google famous neural network capable of recognizing cat
