Server maker AMAX has introduced what it says is the densest GPU computing system on the market. The ServMax AS-5160G is a 16-GPU, 4-CPU system that delivers more than 8 teraflops of high performance computing in a mere 5U of rack space. Scaled up to a 42U rack, an AS-5160G cluster will deliver over 64 …
Below are links the science journal articles about the recent analysis of lunar spectra results. Paul Spudis of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas, cautions that the spectral lines are not definitive. “We really need a surface rover mission,” he says. “We can argue about emission spectra from now until doomsday, but I …
The U.S. and other industrialized countries are pushing to create a broad set of economic targets that would hold key countries – notably China – more directly accountable for their currency and other policies. Countries would commit to meet other, related targets and guidelines – such as avoiding excessive accumulation of foreign reserves or running …
Here is a link to a New York Times video of the Google self driving robotic car. This site has previously proposed an incremental path to cities with only robotic cars. This is a plan to enable the safe early deployment of robotic cars, trucks and buses. The robotic car only zones can start off …
Plans originally called for Masdar City to become a self-contained “carbon-neutral” community of 40,000 residents and even more commuters. Cars would be banned. Waste and water would be recycled. 2016 was the targeted completion date of the $22 billion project. * the project now won’t be completed until at least 2020 — four years after …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Here are the slides for the talk that I gave last night. I removed one slide that showed a comparison of different types of nuclear reactors (this is so that I could get the document below 10 megabytes for Google docs). A video of the talk …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Toshiba Corporation today unveiled the world’s first LCD TVs that offer comprehensive 3D capabilities without any need for dedicated glasses. The new “Glasses-less 3D REGZA GL1” series offers two models with screen sizes specifically designed for personal use: the 20-inch 20GL1 and the 12-inch 12GL1. Both …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Craig Venters team copied an existing bacterial genome. They sequenced its genetic code and then used synthesis machines to chemically construct a copy. The synthetic DNA was transferred to a host cell. The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species “dictated” by the synthetic …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Lawrenceville Plasma Physics is running dense plasma focus fusion experiments and are getting good levels of current and voltage. The April 2010 technical report gives the March experimental results. Analysis of shots we did in March gives more convincing evidence of high ion energies, certainly more …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News   Computer Software DSL can be made 3 to 10 times faster than today. Alcatel Lucent have combined three existing techniques, known as bonding, vectoring, and DSL phantom mode. It can reach speeds of 300 megabits per second at a distance of 400 meters from a communications hub, and …
The Skiff Reader, the first e-reader to integrate the upcoming Skiff Service, is a state-of-the-art device that is simple and easy-to-use. It features the largest and highest-resolution electronic-paper display yet unveiled in a consumer device, at 11.5″ in size (measured diagonally) and a resolution of 1200 x 1600 pixels (UXGA). Skiff has signed a multi-year …
