In field-programmable computing machines, a conventional fixed transactional memory becomes inefficient use of the silicon.
When IBM's Watson computer won a special episode of US game show Jeopardy, many hailed the event as a threshold of a new era of computing: the end, as IBM's Florian Pinel puts it, of "the era of programmable computers, where you had to write code to get a computer to do what you wanted.
Because digital technology is so flexible -- programmable, in computing terms -- digital products, if not wisely designed, can be maddeningly confusing to use.
To address these problems, we present a general, scalable and programmable parallel computing framework called SunwayMR, which only needs GCC/G++ environment.
While such a computer has been theoretically possible for some time, the scientists, writing in last week's issue of the journal Nature, said this was the first programmable autonomous computing machine in which the input, output, software and hardware were all made of DNA molecules.
The third spot on the timeline, Integrated Circuit, chronicled the start of the technological revolution, beginning with the transistor radio and programmable data, computing, and software.
Primary data Data which has been directly gathered from real world situations by surveys, questionnaires, measurements, etc. Programmable Any computing or data recording device which can be pre- programmed to carry out any desired functions.
