I read about how multi-core processors with hyper threading would quadrupal the usable CPUs on a system. Here's Intel showing off with 4 CPUs, Dual Core, with Hyper Threading = 16 processors.
Z techniką za pan brat: procesor serwerowy z połowy lat 90-tych. 23 miliony tranzystorów, 15 węzłów obliczeniowych, taktowanie zegara 66.7MHz. Z blokiem chłodzącym waży 3 kilogramy. Pracował między innymi w maszynie IBM RS/6000 SP we Wrocławskim Centrum Sieciowo-Superkomputerowym (WCSS). Jego unowocześniona wersja została zainstalowana w specjalnym klastrze obliczeniowym Deep Blue, który w 1997 roku ograł w szachy Garri Kasparowa*.
* Kasparow zarządzał później od IBM rewanżu ale firma odmówiła i zakończyła projekt. Później wyszło na jaw, że oprogramowanie maszyny Deep Blue było aktualizowane o kolejne schematy rozgrywek w trakcie potyczki z Kasparowem. Dzięki temu maszyna sprawniej radziła sobie z szachistą. Sztuczna inteligencja, że ho ho ;)
Closeup of my first dual CPU system. It had two AMD Athlon MP 2000+ CPUs socketed in there. I even went to the trouble of replacing most of the capacitors on the mobo a couple years back to keep it going a little longer.
It sucked a good 400 watts of power!
The old cooler was very noisy. I have taken the fan off here. It was the standard cooler included with the Sempron CPU I bought back in 2006. It had gathered quite a bit of dust.
One of those few times where I bent my "no flash" rule. This object was small enough and I was close enough to cast my own shadow on it if I did not use flash. The other justification of flash in this shot is that the flash highlight helps to bring out the texture.
All this CPU images I found at www.digg.com but the link was already taken out.----just wanna share.
A Central Processing Unit (CPU), or sometimes just called processor, is a description of a class of logic machines that can execute computer programs. This broad definition can easily be applied to many early computers that existed long before the term "CPU" ever came into widespread usage. However, the term itself and its initialism have been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s (Weik 1961). The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed dramatically since the earliest examples, but their fundamental operation has remained much the same.
Early CPUs were custom-designed as a part of a larger, usually one-of-a-kind, computer. However, this costly method of designing custom CPUs for a particular application has largely given way to the development of mass-produced processors that are suited for one or many purposes. This standardization trend generally began in the era of discrete transistor mainframes and minicomputers and has rapidly accelerated with the popularization of the integrated circuit (IC). The IC has allowed increasingly complex CPUs to be designed and manufactured in very small spaces (on the order of millimeters). Both the miniaturization and standardization of CPUs have increased the presence of these digital devices in modern life far beyond the limited application of dedicated computing machines. Modern microprocessors appear in everything from automobiles to cell phones to children's toys.
The Tiny Ones : Nikon D7000, Carl Zeiss Luminar 25mm f/3.5, SB28 and reflectors, custom Nikon bellows rail for stacking, RAM mount, Helicon Focus (Method B - 73 frames)
+ each leg is about 3mm long
+ the stacking process here wasn't as smooth as the flowers and required retouching in Helicon Focus
+ the stacking spacing is irregular on this one as this is one of my early stacks using the custom made focus rail
+ the focusing is done on the bellows rail not on the lens
+ raw files batched processed in NX2 - tried in Lightroom but quality sux :)
+ some photoshopping done to remove errors that Helicon Focus can't, no cropping
