A new software language promises to allow computers to consider the consequences of their commands. Analysts said this artificial intelligence technology looks promising for both manufacturers and business management processes. ISO 18629 becomes part of what Business Communication Company (BCC) pred...
Looking to match the kind of computing power it created in the BlueGene/L supercomputer -- a supercomputing system made up over more than 130,000 processors -- IBM launched this week what it called the fastest privately-owned supercomputer in the world. The system is sister to BlueGene, dubbed "BGW,...
HP said its researchers have created a new way to make electronic circuits using so-called "coding theory," which is already applied today in certain math, cryptography and telecommunications applications, including digital cell phones and deep-space probes. HP said the new design method, based on n...
Motorola Labs announced today what it called a "breakthrough" in high-definition TV technology, but analysts were more skeptical about its significance. The research arm of Motorola Inc. has built a 5-inch color video display prototype using its own carbon nanotube (CNT) technology. The company said...
A new research collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Quanta Computer aims to tackle the fact that most users' information such as contacts, calendar and projects, is typically spread across multiple devices, all of which can be troublesome to update and backup. MI...
Winning comparison to Hollywood technological thrillers such as "The Matrix" and "Brainstorm," a new, as-yet theoretical technology patented by Sony is based on neurological sensory stimulation of the human brain, allowing people to touch, taste and smell in a virtual sense. The technology is non-in...
Microsoft has confirmed that it is delaying the launch of its Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition. The software giant initially expected to release a beta version this summer, but has postponed the launch until the first half of 2006 in order to respond to early customer feedback. Microsoft ...
A new lithium-ion battery from Toshiba may hold promise for the future of electric vehicles. The electronics giant yesterday unveiled a battery that takes only a minute to recharge to 80 percent of its full strength, making it by far the fastest recharging lithium-ion battery available.
Network Appliance's announcement of its latest V-Series storage and management systems highlight the further spread of a trend that nearly all major hardware and software vendors tout in some form or another: virtualization. Network Appliance said its NetApp V-series family of data storage and manag...
Toshiba and Elpida Memory both announced today high-performance DRAM (dynamic random access memory) chips they claim achieve the fastest data transfer rate yet attained by any memory device. The second generation 512-megabit XDR (extreme data rate) DRAMs each have a peak operating speed of 3.2 Ghz, ...
Fabless semiconductor company Luxtera announced today that it has solved the longstanding problem of building advanced photonic interfaces into mass-produced silicon chips. The company claimed that, for the first time, it is possible to integrate high-speed optical fiber interfaces in silicon device...
Imagine an automated medical treatment system that does not require onsite medical personnel on the front lines of battle, and is ready to receive, assess, and stabilize wounded soldiers during the critical hours following injury. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Science...
IBM today announced the availability of its world renowned Blue Gene supercomputing system at its newest Deep Computing Capacity on Demand Center in Rochester, Minn. The new Center will allow customers and partners, for the first time ever, to remotely access the Blue Gene system through a virtual p...
