通用电气研究与发展中心(以下简称GE)的研究者们,打算消除计算机世界中一个大家默认但又嘲弄人们的事实:为什么微型芯片,能够在只有婴孩指甲大小的面积上包罗千千万万个晶体管,而芯片之间的距离却不能靠得更近,比如说小于四分之一时?再说,这个距离在微电子学中是巨大的,当在芯片之间的通道上传递信号花费的时间多于处理信号的时间时,处理器内部的超高速又有什么意义呢? Researchers at the General Electric Research and Development Center (GE) intend to dispel the common but taunting truth of the computer world: why microchips are capable of encompassing tens of millions of baby nail-sized areas Transistors, and the distance between the chips can not get closer, for example, less than a quarter? In other words, this distance is huge in microelectronics, when the time spent passing signals on the channel between the chips More than the signal processing time, the processor’s ultra-high speed What is the point?
