Chips Sliding Away
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
When you look at a photograph of a microprocessor die, doesn't it always look like a city of some kind where electrons live and work? The L1 and L2 cache memories are perhaps where the electrons live, and they work in the central processing units and floating point units, commuting back and forth as they form the signals that become zeros and ones, like a human wave at a football stadium. Main memory is where the electrons go for weekends, and disk storage is where they go for long vacations. READ MORE >

As I See It: Expectations of Immediacy
by Victor Rozek
In 1860, a revolutionary multi-species information delivery system was unveiled in St. Joseph, Missouri. Its creators were honest enough to name their enterprise after the harder-working species in the joint venture and called it the Pony Express. The system included 190 stations spaced approximately 10 miles apart--about as far as a horse could run at full gallop--and spanned some 2,000 miles between Missouri and California. READ MORE >
