Exascale will happen with conventional technology, it will just take a bit longer than 2020. We already have on-die Si photonics, TSV (hybrid) memory stacking and the like which should be able to scale. > Quantum or some shizzle. It will do to clusters what the cluster did > to IBM and Cray. It's pretty clear we'll be getting self-assembled molecular circuitry and spintronics, and reach Avogadro scale computing (a ~mole of live bits) but that's probably half a century away. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
