IBM has recently revealed updates to its quantum roadmap, marking a significant milestone by introducing the 133-qubit Heron chip and the groundbreaking System Two quantum computer. Heron stands out as the inaugural member of a new series of scalable quantum processors, meticulously engineered over four years to achieve IBM’s peak performance metrics and minimal error […]

IBM has launched Artificial Intelligence Unit– Ready to replace CPU for deep learning training


https://www.electronics-lab.com/ibm-has-launched-artificial-intelligence-unit-ready-to-replace-cpu-for-deep-learning-training/

IBM believes that computing power and AI models have grown exponentially, but the supporting hardware to train them and run them on servers in the cloud or edge devices hasn’t advanced. IBM Research AI Hardware Center has decided to launch an application-specific integrated circuit for artificial intelligence that can be programmed to run any type […]

Grillo, IBM and Linux to accelerate deployment of open source earthquake early warning (EEW) detection systems


https://www.electronics-lab.com/grillo-ibm-and-linux-to-accelerate-deployment-of-open-source-earthquake-early-warning-eew-detection-systems/

Earthquakes are shifts or vibrations in the earth’s crust caused by a sudden release of violent energy and the effects that come with them, especially with the large ones, can be devastating. The earlier citizens are warned ahead of its occurrence, the better their chances of survival. Fair enough, a number of earthquakes early warning […]

A circuit board from the Saturn V rocket, reverse-engineered and explained


https://www.electronics-lab.com/circuit-board-saturn-v-rocket-reverse-engineered-explained/

Ken Shirriff writes on his blog: In the Apollo Moon missions, the Saturn V rocket was guided by an advanced onboard computer system built by IBM. This system was built from hybrid modules, similar to integrated circuits but containing individual components. I reverse-engineered a circuit board from this system and determined its function: Inside the […]

On Monday, March 05, 2018, research scientists from the Google Quantum Al lab whose goal is to build a quantum computer that can be used to solve real-world problems, presented their latest quantum processor called Bristlecone at the annual American Physical Society meeting in Los Angeles. Qubits or quantum bits are merely the quantum analogue […]

IBM just unveiled the ‘world’s smallest computer’


https://www.electronics-lab.com/ibm-just-unveiled-worlds-smallest-computer/

by Paul Miller @ theverge.com The computer is 1mm x 1mm, smaller than a grain of fancy salt, and apparently costs less than ten cents to manufacture. To be clear, the picture above is a set of 64 motherboards, each of which hold two of this tiny computer. IBM claims the computer has the power […]

ICECool – An Intra-Chip Cooling System That Is More Efficient


https://www.electronics-lab.com/icecool-intra-chip-cooling-system-efficient/

In the Moore’s Law race to keep improving computer performance, the IT industry has turned upward, stacking chips like nano-sized 3D skyscrapers. But those stacks have their limits, due to overheating. Researchers from IBM have solved this problem by developing an intra-chip cooling system as a contribution to ICECool program research project by the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects […]

A 5nm GAAFET Chip By IBM, Samsung & GlobalFoundries


https://www.electronics-lab.com/5nm-gaafet-chip-ibm-samsung-globalfoundries/

In less than two years since making a 7nm test node chip with 20 billion transistors, scientists have paved the way for 30 billion switches on a fingernail-sized chip. IBM with its Research Alliance partners, GlobalFoundries and Samsung, have unveiled their industry-first process that will enable production of 5nm chips. The new 5nm technology is one of the […]
