1,000,000,000,000,000,000: This is the number of computer instructions that have been carried out in 1 second by the Frontier Supercomputer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee US, making it the first computer to operate in the Exascale dimension. As every year the Top 500 (supercomputer) ranking has been published …

The Huawei presentation at the webinar I mentioned in yesterday’s post on the future of airport, also addressed a few technology trends for 2025 that I found interesting (although I am not buying on them all, but this is what discussion on trends is for, getting different perspectives, hence I …

Just finished to watch the WWCD Apple event, engaging as usual. What really made me think was Apple announcement of the evolution of Apple Car, and just skimming the web in these last few minutes I see that I am not alone. Apple Car is the software that let you …

Squeezing more transistor on a slice of silicon cost too much. Since 2014/2015 the prediction of Moore that we would be seeing a decreasing cost per transistor on chips as they become smaller no longer holds true. However packaging more transistor in a chip remains a goal, since the more …

Apple is, with the possible exception of the military industry, one of the most secretive companies around when discussing future products (and features). There are, of course, plenty of rumours and quite a few of them turn out to be true. Once in a while, however, we get a statement …

According to most recent studies 100% of people die. It is not new, it happened in the past as well. What is new is that today many of us, if not most of us, have accrued a partial mirror of their life in digital form. This digital life keeps living …

The amount of technology used in healthcare is huge, and growing. As shown in the graphics there is a relentless surge of new technologies that are advancing all aspects of healthcare. Significant progress over the coming 3 years is expected on (in order of shorter deployment horizon): Digital Health Insurance …

Lady Macbeth said “What’s done is done” and immediately after that, to clarify the point, “What’s done cannot be undone.” That was in the early XVII century: technology has progressed to the point that, at least in some specific situations, you can change the past! This is what Apple has …

The complexity of designing microchips keeps growing. We have chips today that embeds more than a billion transistors and you need to connect them with one another in very specific ways to get the kind of circuits you need. Let’s get this straight. It is now a long time that …

Processing is cheap, actually it is not! On the one hand we have seen a continuous decrease of processing cost but at the same time we have been increasing our (our applications) need for processing to the point that it made sense to create huge processing infrastructures that can be …
