Would you consider this to be doing math the old-fashioned way? Instead of going with silicon-based switching (ie: transistors) this 4-bit adder uses mechanical relays. We like it for its mess of ...

There are many different ways in which we could implement our 4-Bit Chewy Computer — here are a few possibilities for you to peruse and ponder In my previous column on this topic — “Building a 4-Bit ...

Deep learning is an inefficient energy hog. It requires massive amounts of data and abundant computational resources, which explodes its electricity consumption. In the last few years, the overall ...

Single-chip 16-Gbit MLC NAND flash devices from 50-nanometer-class processes were introduced in the first half of 2007. Adoption of MLC technology for NAND flash has been a crucial factor in achieving ...

[Michael Gardi] wrote in to let us know about his project: CPS-1: Imagining An Early 70s 4-bit Microcomputer. The CPS-1 was the first Canadian microprocessor-based computer. It was built by ...

It has to do with the "density" of the chips. <P>Using low density memory you'll get errors. if you only put memory of 64 megabytes or more, you won't have the problem. <P>FYI, you couldn't put enough ...
