For the Macro Monday challenge "Chip" (April 18th 2022)
I couldn't remove the chip from the motherboard, so I just got as close as I could. Under the macro lens a motherboard can look like an industrial complex! It's fun to shoot! 😊
Establishing shot in the first comment field.

After a conversation with my flickr friend Screenpunk
What did you see this summer? We didn’t have any major trips but the ones we had were really good. All we wanted is to have a little change of scenery. Something to keep driving our creativity. One of the unexpected surprises was Indianapolis. I don’t shoot many look down shots but this city from above looks amazing. What do you think?

I opened up and old computer and took this for Macromondays theme inside electronics.
Gropped a couple of times to get close enough.
2018 one photo each day
Went to a familiar friend today. Usually shoot this place in the Autumn or Winter so was nice to have a bit of vibrance on this visit.

Sun Microsystems introduced its Sun Sparcstation 330 with the SPARC architecture in 1989. SPARC was one of the first commercial materializations of a reduced instructions set architecture coming from the RISC project, led by Prof. David Patterson at the UC Berkeley, as MIPS was being led by Prof. John L. Henessy at the Standford University. It was powered by a Cypress CY7C601 processor at 25 MHz along with a Texas Instruments 8847 FPU, and boasted a 72 MB RAM. My Department (Computing and Systems Engineering, DIIS is its current name) bought one of these machines in 1990, which currently enjoys a well-deserved retirement in our Computer Museum, with its motherboard displayed inside a showcase. I pass next to it a dozen times a day, and recently realized that those six crossed wires with a yellow dot -likely a decoupling capacitor between GND and Vcc- can't be any other thing but a late fix. The components they're fixed on are eight-bit transceivers. Someone didn't sleep /eat /... for quite a few days or weeks, who knows, until fixing a (million dollars?) post-production bug. I find this fix really beautiful, as it completely breaks up the dullness of the circuitry.
The two outstanding big chips are the first-level cache memory controller (left), and the (off-chip) L1 cache itself (above).

SPARC fue una de las primeras materializaciones comerciales de una arquitectura con repertorio reducido de instrucciones proveniente del proyecto RISC liderado por el Prof. David Patterson en UC Berkeley, a la par que MIPS era liderado por el Prof. John L.

Mi departamento (actualmente denominado Dept. de Informática a Ingeniería de Sistemas, DIIS) adquirió una de estás máquinas en 1990, que actualmente goza de un merecido descanso en nuestro Museo de Informática, con su placa madre mostrada en una vitrina. Paso a su lado docenas de veces al día, y recientemente reparé en que esos seis cables cruzados con un punto amarillo encima –condensador de desacople entre GND y Vcc, con toda probabilidad- no pueden ser sino un apaño tardío. Los componentes sobre los que están colocados son transceivers de 8 bits. Alguien no durmió /comió /… durante bastantes días o semanas, quién sabe, hasta arreglar un fallo (¿de millones de dólares?) aparecido en post-producción. Este apaño me parece realmente bello, porque rompe completamente la aburrida regularidad del circuito.
Los dos grandes chips que sobresalen son el controlador de la memoria cache de primer nivel (a la izquierda), y la propia L1 (off-chip, más arriba).

Another fun exercise in replica building, I did take inspiration from Jonas and Tim’s superb motherboard models.
You can find breakdowns of the more interesting techniques in Issue 8 of Brick Fanatics magazine.

A little work in progress from my studio. 'Cos I need a new computer, so I tried to build my own. It's not quite working though. Maybe it's the help I hired?
Anyway, time to add substantial height to this puppy...
Ssgt. Šabić: "Motherboard,B.1.2 here,B.1 deployed,over."
Motherboard: "Roger that,meet up with N forces,half of a click away from you,over."
Ssgt. Šabić: "Affirmative."
5 minutes later...
Motherboard: "B.1.2,there are 5 squads of operators parachuting near you,under heavy fire,get there and help them,over."
Ssgt Šabić: "Affirmative,we met up with N squad,proceeding to LZ Delta-3.0"
Motherboad: "Affirmative."
