Researchers want to give a 25-core open-source processor called Piton some serious bite. The developers of the chip at Princeton University have in mind a 200,000-core computer crammed with 8,000 64-bit Piton chips. It won’t happen anytime soon, but that’s one possible usage scenario for Piton. The chip is designed to be flexible and quickly scalable, and will have to ensure the giant collection of cores ar ...

Waiting hours in queue is history, SmarQ will update you the current queue status and alarm you when it is almost your turn to be served. Story Waiting hours in queue for your turn to be attended is a waste of time.  SmarQ allows you to take a queue number with a press of button. You can go away for a while to do other business in the middle of the waiting. SmarQ will update you the current queue status and ...

The current memory landscape spans from venerable DRAM to hard disk drives to ubiquitous flash. But in the last several years PCM has attracted the industry's attention as a potential universal memory technology based on its combination of read/write speed, endurance, non-volatility and density. For example, PCM doesn't lose data when powered off, unlike DRAM, and the technology can endure at least 10 milli ...

A new “all-climate” lithium-ion battery can rapidly heat itself to overcome freezing temperatures with little sacrifice in energy storage capacity and power, researchers say. This advance might enable applications for which high-performance batteries are needed in extremely cold temperatures, such as electric cars in cold climates, high-altitude drones, and space exploration. EC Power is now creating all-cl ...

Arduino Uno’s microcontroller board is great, but the one thing it’s not overly generous with is storage. Having 32KB of program flash storage, 2KB of RAM and 1KB of programmable EEPROM space at your disposal is fine for many Arduino projects, but it’s not enough when you need to record data. But with a $2 microSD card reader module from eBay, you can quickly add up to 32GB of space. What’s more, FAT32 soft ...

SD Card Shield description: The SD Card Shield is a breakout board for a standard SD card. This is the 3rd version of Seeed Studio SD card shield: compared to previous versions it has the TF card adapter removed to avoid data error when SD and TF card were both inserted, and an additional filter capacitor was added to reduce power supply ripple. You can select 3.3V or IO port power supply with the switch on ...
