The future is here - Nasa now using 'quantum' computers PDF Print E-mail

No, it's not science fiction ... it is infact REAL. Quantum computers do exist and it's now being used by Nasa, Google and Universities. Developed by D-Wave Systems ... this supercomputer is said said to be up to 3,600 times faster than conventional computers.

"A $15m computer that uses "quantum physics" effects to boost its speed is to be installed at a Nasa facility. It will be shared by Google, Nasa, and other scientists, providing access to a machine said to be up to 3,600 times faster than conventional computers.

 

d wave quantum computers

 

Unlike standard machines, the D-Wave Two processor appears to make use of an effect called quantum tunnelling. This allows it to reach solutions to certain types of mathematical problems in fractions of a second. Effectively, it can try all possible solutions at the same time and then select the best.

Google wants to use the facility at Nasa's Ames Research Center in California to find out how quantum computing might advance techniques of machine learning and artificial intelligence, including voice recognition. University researchers will also get 20% of the time on the machine via the Universities Space Research Agency (USRA)."

Not surprising ... but it's quite an achievement having sold 10 million Galaxy S 4 smartphones since its launch only a few months ago. Well done Samsung!

 

s4

 

"According to co-CEO JK Shin, Samsung's Galaxy S 4 will soon hit the 10 million mark in sales, less than a month after its debut. That beats the Galaxy S III's time to that mark by nearly three weeks, making it far and away the company's quickest seller, ever. The model will also get another push thanks to a stock Android 4.2 version that'll be available for $649 at Google Play on June 26th, but so far it's an impressive figure, considering its bizarre reveal."

PSIO prototype loads PlayStation 1 ISOs on the console PDF Print E-mail

Friday, 17 May 2013 04:57

Imagine you can now load all your old PlayStation 1 ISOs on the console using the PSIO prototype.

"Project PlayStation Input Output has been trying to load PlayStation 1 game images through the game system's parallel I/O port since 2010, and now it's ready to show off the first prototype.

 

psio-setup

 

If piracy is your aim, then modchips that let users play burned discs and emulators that have been available through the console's 19-year history should suffice, but this project aims to bypass those methods. The potential benefits include easier homebrew support and playing of ripped discs on the original hardware without worrying about wearing out an aging console's laser."

Nvidia's Shield console - Price and release date announced PDF Print E-mail

Wednesday, 15 May 2013 08:19

It's coming ... Nvidia's first ever gaming console! For this console to succeed ... it needs games, and lots of it.

"US chipmaker Nvidia has revealed its launch plans for Shield - its handheld video-games console. It says the Android-powered device will ship to North America in June and be priced at $349 (£229). That makes it $100 more expensive than Sony's PlayStation Vita and nearly double the cost of Nintendo's 3DS XL.

 

NVIDIA-Shield

 

One expert said Shield was unlikely to appeal to more than a "niche audience" but it would act as a showpiece for Nvidia's technology. The console is equipped with the firm's Tegra 4 chip - its new top-end mobile processor.

The ARM-based component features 72 graphic processing unit (GPU) cores and four central processing unit (CPU) cores. Nvidia says this allows it to offer "rich graphics and unbeatable performance"."
