izvor:Fujitsu Ltd. says that the company has sucessfully developed the world’s fastest central processing unit - a CPU capable of performing 128 billion calculations per second. You know Intel and IBM have been leading developers of CPU, and this CPU codenamed Venus will help Fujitsu to take back the title of the world’s fastest CPU maker for the first time since 1999.
Venus calculates 2.5 times faster than the previous record-holding model which was made by Intel. Fujitsu has taken the advantage of miniaturization technology to double the number of central circuits integrated onto a chip measuring about 2cm from four to eight. Venus also shows great energy efficiency - cutting electricity consumption to about one-third of current levels.
The new CPU will be hopefully used on an Institute of Physical and Chemical Science next-generation supercomputer which will go into operation at the end of fiscal 2010. Tens of thousands of the CPUs would be installed in the supercomputer.
The Venus is likely to have implications for technologies such as new drug development, earthquake prediction and rocket engine design. In addition, it’s said that should the Venus come to be used in devices such as personal computers and digital electronic appliances, it could lead to the development of equipment such as portable simultaneous interpretation devices and automated driving devices for cars.
