The Future of Deep-Learning—Nvidia Unveils Chip With 15 Billion Transistors
Posted by Elmar Arunov in categories: futurism, robotics/AI
The Tesla P100 represents a large departure for Nvidia, a company that has focused almost solely on developing chips for workstations and gaming rigs. With the P100, Nvidia is setting their sights on data centers and deep-learning technology.
This is a huge risk as it involves the development of many other things, like a new architecture, new interconnect, and new process, all of which went into the creation of the Tesla P100.
“Our strategy is to accelerate deep learning everywhere,” said Huang.

Why the Future of Data Centers Could Be in the Oceans
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, futurism
This research has been going on for a very long time.
Researchers at the National Institute of Informatics are closing in on a solution to keep computers cool by submerging them under water. How will such research benefit the computer industry? What are the implications of such technology?
Underwater computers sound idea but, when you look at the amount of power dissipated by computers, the idea becomes less bizarre.

The patented history and future of… the Apple Watch
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: futurism, wearables
Rarely a week goes by at Wareable where a patent from some big tech company doesn’t get us guessing about the future.
Like Hansel and Gretel with smartwatches, we follow the proverbial tech crumbs all the way to the end, but we’re quick to forget how many of the ideas actually make the cut — and which get lost along the way.
So we’re going to a mini-series we’re calling ‘The patented history and future of…’, looking at some of the big launches in wearable tech, starting with the Apple Watch. These are going to be miniature timelines, small trips down memory lane looking at the patents that led up to the announcement and those that have happened since, to see what came true, what didn’t, and what might still be to come.
