In the absence of a multi-billion-dollar research budget and the necessary permissions, however, their ships have sailed only through the processor of a computer.
Slow access to memory can be a stumbling block because programmables usually work best in systems that are highly "pipelined," meaning the data flows quickly through the processor.
"Buyers craving a Windows tablet, touch laptop, or a touch all-in-one PC will jump for Windows 8, once they work through the processor choice confusion," said Frank Gillett from consultants Forrester Research.
Wilhite swipes a credit card through the processor, and regulars look up from their tables, almost as one.
The operating conditions of the microfluidizer included applied pressures of 14,000 18,000 psi, bacterial slurry flow rates of 300 400 ml per minute and multiple passes of the slurry through the processor.
The signal was transmitted through the processor cable to the monitor.
You will notice the dark, used cooking oil traveling out of the bottom of the collection barrel, through the pump, through the processor and up into the hose that empties into the reaction tank.
In other parallel machines, the processors are connected only to near neighbors, while they have to talk to more distant processors through intervening processors.
About halfway through, completely stop the processor and scrap the sides down.
It's compellingly acted and staged (by Doug Hughes), but the script probably needs another trip through the word processor before it lives up to its production (2 00).
