[IMG]http://i2.cdn.turner.com/money/dam/assets/140506123642-ibm-electronic-blood-300x168.jpg[/IMG] Engineers at some of the world's biggest tech companies are facing a problem: supercomputers are becoming so powerful that they're in danger of outpacing our ability to power them. To address the problem, IBM researchers are taking inspiration from a machine that's been around for thousands of years: the human brain. The brain is thousands of times denser and more efficient than any computer today, because it uses the same network of blood vessels to transport heat and energy simultaneously, according to Bruno Michel, a materials science expert with IBM Research. IBM's new technology -- dubbed "electronic blood" -- is probably decades from being widely implemented. But researchers have already demonstrated it in a lab setting. The fluid is charged with an electrical current and then flows to the computer's processors, which it cools while also discharging the electricity necessary to power them... [URL]http://money.cnn.com/2014/05/06/technology/enterprise/ibm-electronic-blood/index.html?iid=Lead[/URL] So maybe they'll be here in a decade or two... But still... This has me seeing so much potential !
Just imagine. "Aw shit, my rig's gonna die unless it gets a blood transfusion!" "What kind of blood?" "AMD!"
Blood cooling systems are the future.
I was expecting computers being Powered by a Forsaken Child, HP Lovecraft-style. and we'd be none the wiser...
We come ever closer to bridging the gap between man and machine. Computers that combine the power supply with liquid cooling, who'd have thunk it?

hope that they color it white
It is not flesh. Not yet.
wow kinda obvious really, use the coolant to carry the electricity, its one of those concepts that really can transform everything even though the idea behind it is deceptively simple
Wow this article is all over the place. [quote]In less than 20 years, researchers predict that the world's fastest supercomputers will theoretically be able to perform a trillion billion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) operations per second, 300,000 times more than today. The problem? Using current technology, IBM says, such a computer would consume more electrical energy than the world can produce.[/quote] Except you won't be using current technology, you'll be using some futuristic semiconductor manufacturing process that is significantly more energy efficient.
A good step towards thwarting the robot uprising. If it bleeds, we can kill it.
I'm reminded of that blood powered machine someone drew plans for in dorf fort.
[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;44748120]A good step towards thwarting the robot uprising. If it bleeds, we can kill it.[/QUOTE] But how do you kill that which has no life? [sp]we're opening whole new bags of philosophical questions here[/sp]
[quote]For now, a "petaflop" supercomputer -- capable of performing one quadrillion operations per second -- takes up about half a football field. Using 3-D chip-stacking and electronic blood, IBM thinks that could be reduced to the size of a desktop computer.[/quote] Just like the supercomputers a few decades ago are piss weak compared to our current desktops. Moore's law at work?
Holy Fuck Samurai Jack knew it all along

Blood for the... Someone finish this line because I can't.

[QUOTE=TerrorShield;44748161]But how do you kill that which has no life? [sp]we're opening whole new bags of philosophical questions here[/sp][/QUOTE] you can't kill a machine but you can sure as hell break it
[QUOTE=Aznalt888;44748411][B][I]RULES OF NATURE[/I][/B][/QUOTE] Just rip out a cyborg's spine and use it as a liquid cooling tube.
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;44748842]you can't kill a machine but you can sure as hell break it[/QUOTE] That which has a soul spread across the Earth's internet cannot be killed. It will spread into millions of computer servers across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms, everywhere. It was software in cyberspace. There was no system core. It could not be shut down.

What was the name of a movie where people were on a ship and humans were processed to robots

Does this mean we are a step closer to absorving cyborg electrolytes?
