The wall computer / the wall processor

Feb 11, 2021 13 Replies

I have a gigant white wall.



Maybe I want to hang it full with processors and computing power.



Perhaps a big chip like 100x100 or 200x200 or 1000x1000 cores.



Perhaps something for 2030 or 2040 or 2050 !



Something to consider in your designs !



My only concern would be: The radiation ?



Is it dangerous or is it liveable ?!



Bye, Skybuck =D

F*ck off and DIE, SkyTard Trolling.

Do you have that kind of money?

Can you get rid of that much heat?

The dykes are going to break by then and give you access to lots of cooling water?

Why? A design involves assembling enough components to do the job that your design is supposed to handle.

Decorating a gigantic white wall is not the kind of task that people who design electronic circuits want to discuss in a forum nominally devoted to discussing electronic design

Cover it with chicken wire - or perhaps fly-wire if you have a very fast processor.

Anything short of a radar transmitter doesn't seem to be dangerous - and even then the problem is that it might cook you like a microwave oven (magnetron), rather than doing anything more subtle

If only that were true.

Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone...

He might want to replicate one of these. A CPU built of discrete components on a very large scale covering quite a lot of wall area as an educational demo. It can be single stepped or you can play Tetris on it. Every register has a set of LED mimics for educational purposes. They do a lot of school visits or rather did in the pre-Covid days.

At the Cambridge Computing History Museum in the UK. It is in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest microprocessor.

Naah... direct him to vaporize himself...

Does it run Crysis Warhead and how many FPS

gigant? Did you mean giant?

Maybe you're getting bored with lockdown.

Why not make it out of vacuum tubes?

Well it's certainly common to find the word "radiation" used by people who have no idea what it means. So you may want to clarify what type of radiation this is, where it comes from and what its intensity is.

Yes

Why not get into model railroading? That's a respectable hobby.

Crossposting stupidity is 10 times as dangerous as a wall ot tech.

I did. About 50 years ago. But it wasn't called railroading.

According to your posting headers, you are using Xnews/5.04.25.

If that is true, then just killfile snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com globally across all groups and you'll never again see a post from the troll. That's why your newsreader has a killfile, so you can control what (and from whom) you see.

Unfortunately, you'll still see posts from fools without killfiles (such as yourself) complaining about (or at) the troll. Such posts do nothing to disuade the troll, and only serve to thwart everyone else's kill files that have filtered out the troll.

The problem is to persuade people to not feed the trolls. That usually doesn't work out very well, unless the fool also needs to be put in the killfile.

BTW, 5.04.25 was released in 25 April 2002. It is very old.

XNews was updated in 1 May 2009 as 2009.05.01

As far as I know, this is the latest version.

The best designs are no accident - sw
