Apparently, they don't really understand the cloud computing thing.
"I hope to catch up on the science computing thing," Kempe says, and the move allows her to reunite with her long-term partner, also a scientist.
The GPU computing thing hasn't quite taken off yet, but it's pretty much inevitable that it'll start being implemented on a low level, since it can improve the user experience so dramatically.
If you'll allow a bit of speculation on my part, I'd say that this "stemcell computing" thing is a way of saying that their new generation of stuff is going to be flexible and modular.
Then we adapt shape grammars for computing shapes to making grammars for computing things.
Computers, on the other hand, they're typically great because there's a lot of software for 'em, you can run basic computing things, you can surf the web and all of that, but they're typically really big and they typically suck power.
I've been using the phrase "reasonable time" to talk about how long it might take to compute things, but to form a mathematical theory we need to get a bit more specific.
"In the age of cloud computing, things get even more complicated as corporation tax is applied using the principle of where a company's decision makers are based," he wrote.
"In this new world, with smartphones and tablets, and cloud computing, things are moving around fast," said Hector Ruiz, the former chief executive of Advanced Micro Devices, Intel's top competitor in making PC chips.
Going by such catchy and auspicious names as "smart (networked) devices", "ubiquitous/pervasive/proactive computing", "things that think", "net-aware embedded devices" or "massively sensed and actuated structures" (depending on the author's bias), a new agenda, or, at least, a new domain of information technology is currently taking shape.
They are interested in doing research to advance our understanding of the science of computing; things like command-line history, tab completion, and "select * from table" have been around too long, and work too well, to be publishable any longer.
