Its like you've never even taken a college level math class. You probably shouldn't be commenting on this subject. You look dumb enough already.

>>8590098
I've probably taken more classes that boil down to set theory than you'll ever take in your entire lifetime. Uncountable infinity is a meme, a false God to which we ascribe meaning due to being incapable of finding it elsewhere. Uncountable infinity does not exist and never will.

Basically, this guy falsified pretty much all his results, embezzled millions, and put his lab technicians on drugs so they could ovulate and give him eggs for his experiments. His case was notable for being one of the rare cases of a scientific misconduct incident resulting in actual criminal charges, due to the fact that he stole so much.

>Silicon Photonics

I went to a conference on supercomputing this past year (SC16) and some guys had a panel about the future of computing, since we're at a dead end for silicon. One of the guys said he thought photonics were the future.

Someone gets up during the QA section and asks when they would be ready, since his buddy did a PhD in photonics in like the 70s and there's still nothing working.

Had fun watching the guy's research get complete BTFO.

What do you mean by that? I hope you're not just talking about 3D transistors.

Lots of fakes and scammers in science. Funding for an ends regardless of means.

The biggest fraud must be packaging the idiot box in a 2"x4"x1/4" form factor and calling it a smart phone when the cell-phone addicts now kill more people on the road than drunks.

An anti-social device marketed as a social device and people so severely retarded that they believe it: as they ignore everyone and everything as they frantically push Pavlov's buttons, too stupid to worry about brain damage cause they have no brain to worry about. But dementia and Alzheimers is a bitch.

1.1. by shortening average "wire" length
1.2. shortening average wire length would lower "switching losses" of the whole clock tree thus further reducing power consumption

>>8595414
Ah right, thanks anon.

>>8595485
>1.1. by shortening average "wire" length
No, the correct answer was "3D memory has nothing to do with increasing processor clock speed."
I'm currently using the HMC (3D memory with a logic layer) for my research. We've talked about different sorts of applications, mostly revolving around memory-bound codes. The shortened wire lengths will indeed reduce latency and speed up such applications. However, this does not mean processors will run any faster. Memory is not part of the processor.

>1.2. shortening average wire length would lower "switching losses" of the whole clock tree thus further reducing power consumption
Like I said, memory is not part of the processor. It will be great to reduce power draw from memory, considering it is such a large part of total system power draw. But its not going to change anything with the processor, except free up some power budget, when we start making hardware over-provisioned systems.

Sometimes I think if you're not one of them, then you can think of their whole Standard Model as a hoax. I'll admit I do believe them, but I mean, are all these subatomic particles really "particles" as a someone ignorant like me would understand? The Higgs imparts mass huh? How does that work? Someone here must be somewhat familiar with this stuff. When you're taught what a Higgs is and how it functions, is it at all intuitive from what you know?

>How the fuck will 3D memory help us increase processor clock speed?
Clocks are as fast as they are going to get. That's why we went pipelined, to multi-core, and then massive parallel with GPUs. The future is different interconnect topologies, like a compute fabric made of arrays of cores that can only access their neighbors memory, not some global memory as in current machines.

>3D processors
Heat dissipation will be the largest obstacle to 3D. Btw, modern CPUs are dozens of layers deep.

>>8594403
I think silicon optical buses for moving data across large distances on a die will be a thing in the near future (within 5 or 10yrs), but they will be useless for anything else. Electro-optical couplers and decouplers take up a lot of floorspace, so these buses can't be used for short distances. That being said, it will only very modestly boost performance.

I honestly think more interesting applications for silicon photonics will be a return to analog computation for things like even faster FFT hardware and signal processing.
