Resumen de Parallel sparking
Heaven looks at Peter Bentley's computer that's incapable of running any existing software. Bentley thinks his machine could tear down 70 years of received wisdom and change the future of computing. His machine is inspired by biological networks like the brain, in which billions of neurons are each wired up to thousands of others. One of the central ideas is to decouple the tight communication between cores. In conventional parallel computers, the cores receive instructions in rapid succession, which can create hold-ups as they wait for data. His cores operate in a free-for-all, hooking up as and when needed, just as different brain regions communicate on an ad hoc basis.
