Alright Einsteins,

I read an article on Scientific American regarding a new processor that uses Morphware. Morphware is when the function of a processor changes to another function while this change is caused by a software within the system.

Say for example you want to use your computer to manage accounting data. You give a command to a software that then tells the Magnetologic processor to function like a business unit. But then you finish and you want to play games. You once again tell the software to tell the processor to function as a gaming platorm.

Cool, huh?

The magnetologic processor is made up of a series of magnets that are arranged like gates. The arrangment of the gates dictates the primary function of the processor. Thus, you can tell a computer to act like a DVD player or act like a business computer or act like a gameing platform.

Programmers have always had to sacrifice one function of a processor in order to serve another when it came to regular processor that we all currently have. I magnetologic gate processor doesn't require a clock, thus reducing the complex calculation significantly and save processing time. And it can make the changes and refresh in 0.1 [zero-point-one] nanosecond while a regular processor take much longer than that. Even a second can feel like an eternity for our regular processors.

This is from what I remember and understand from the Scientific American magazine. The understanding part was the hard part because a lot of technical terms [which I can't understand] have been used in the article.

Imagine how this can effect the FS and CFS series in the years to come. It may sound like a lot of years to you guys, but remember how fast the FS and CFS series evolved in just 10 years.

Isn't what they call Quamtum computers?

we all do respect This sound more like science fiction than science, a procesor its like any chip..Its an a multiple transistos (even millons)resistances ,gates..I haven't seen or see the needs of a magnet in it wich is a direcly conductor(iron ferrita) Not made by a silicium or any other semiconductor.this is very strange,i would like to see where did you get that information,for me its sounds like there is a new model of car,the xxxx and it work with orange juice instead a fuel

I never trust or believe so fast whatever i read,even a prestigious magazine like Scientific American

Is my opinion and i can be wrong....

Alright Einsteins,

.....This is from what I remember and understand from the Scientific American magazine. The understanding part was the hard part because a lot of technical terms [which I can't understand] have been used in the article......

I'm definately with ALROT on this one... ...!

The author woke up one morning and thought..."What can I write about today to fool the masses?"
"The Moon Landings have alrady been covered, so what about dreaming up a use for the horseshoe magnets that my little lad has brought home from school"... ...!

LOL...!

Paul.

The fact that it came from an American Scientific Magazine says it all... ...!
LOL...!

It actually makes sense to me on a physics level. The actual devices change to fulfill the required activity...seems simple enough.

In a business unit you may need a certain amount of redundant memory for backups. Those same devices would re-configure in a gaming environment to apply more horsepower to graphics display.

Very cool.

Now, program it at the quantuum level and you'v got the whole enchilada.

this actually does make sense... the processor would not be a fixed unit as regular ones are today, it would be able to change it's internal circuitry to perform a specific task

the magnets themselves are not a part of the circuitry as i understand it, they are the parts that will move to rearrange the circuit

sound very cool if it's true... if it's not, meh.... maybe someone will be inspired with the idea and actually start working on it

i like the idea, though

Moach

As the article describes, the gates gon't really move. However, the state in which the magnets are in dictates the function.

Ever tried creating an electromagnet and switched its polarity every once in a while?

The gates consist of magnets that arranged in a stack with conductor and non-magnetic spacers.

this actually does make sense... the processor would not be a fixed unit as regular ones are today, it would be able to change it's internal circuitry to perform a specific task

Like tv's  EPROM microchips, procesors that can be variable,saving its status?It would be great!but we will have to wait maybe 10 years to this technology improves to CPU computer levels  ;)

Interesting.....
