Main game is to stick as many floating-point (or more recently reduced integer) arithmetic units as you can to increase the number of math operations you can do in parallel. LLMs are just giant ...

Solution-based processing of a field-effect transistor from inorganic nanocrystals. How many transistors did they make? Do they think this can scale up to numbers required for modern devices? For ...

Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses charge localization and works at room temperature. (Nanowerk News) The ability ...

The first transistors were point contact devices, not far from the cats-whiskers of early radio receivers. They were fragile and expensive, and their performance was not very high. The transistor ...

Not every computer can make use of a disk drive when it needs to store persistent data. Embedded systems especially have pushed the development of a series of erasable programmable read-only memories ...
