Intel shows off 2 TFLOPS processor

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

INTEL’S ANNUAL Research@Intel Day here in Santa Clara kicked off in high gear, with Chipzilla letting out boffins from the lab to see the light of day. Intel has its fair share of “Blue Sky” projects but probably the most impressive is from its Tera Scale Computing group of projects. After demonstrating 80-core silicon in Beijing, brave researchers have now polished the cooling component and tweaked the silicon, so now the performance reaches two TeraFLOPS when these 80 floating-point mini-cores are working at no less than 6.26GHz. The Interesting thing about this demo was the fact that these cores achieve 1TFLOPS at 3.13GHz and at that clock, power consumption is only 24 Watts, while for double more, 6.26GHz eats up more th157 Watts.

Just a quick Hieeeee and a piccy for those curious to see what I look like (Red)….lol

I had tried to get away from the whole blonde thing, but dyeing my hair didn’t help much - as soon as I opened my mouth the game was up (am very good at saying stupid things….)

I passed my trial for OMG-CLAN and am now a fully fledged member Private Bunny :) thanks guys

Online Gaming

Monday, June 4th, 2007

A friend has recently gotten me interested in online gaming. This is reasonably new to me as I am not a big gamer, prefering to read a book, watch a movie or play poker. However, he intorduced me to Call of Duty 2. It is fantastic!

Its not the violence in the game that attracts me at all, it is the comradeship and teamwork. I thoroughly enjoy playing with the clan (www.omg-clan.co.uk) on their server, and they have accepted a girl playing with them with open arms. We have a great time, and have a Team Speak server also (this means we all chat over our headsets whilst playing).

The game is fantastic, fun and fast paced. The people that play on the OMG server are a great bunch for the most part and I have a few favourites (usually cos they shoot/kill me in interesting ways …. lol) - You know who you are Chuck, Baker & Red! ;)

if you get online with this game, look us up on the www.omg-clan.co.uk site (server details listed on the homepage). I play as Click to continue »
