Using photonics for real-time processing.

[Bob Myers]

I wish I knew. My guess is, it would contain optical components that
are analogous to the electric components of electronic PCs.

But, of course, that's not even a guess. It is the
equivalent of a five-year-old making up an invisible
monster to explain the mess in his room.

**** you. This is Usenet, and not everyone reads every thread at the
same time it is started, or at the same time your stupid ass does.

What a wonderfully mature response.

Of course, the fact that this IS a Usenet groupOr means
that one can always review the entire thread before
jumping in with both feet in one's mouth...unless, of
course, that's simply too much trouble for you.

Or has this simply not yet occured to you?

**** you, asswipe. Your put downs of the OP show that it is YOU that
needs to be filtered

Please feel free to do so. Also please at least try to imagine
the degree of mental anguish that your "filtering" of my posts
will cause me. I have no idea how I will manage to carry on,
and yet, somehow, I suspect that I will.

Try reading, next time, JCKASS. The dolt was talking about magnetic
bubble memory. MRAM is today's modern equivalent.

Bullshit. I suppose that you think that the FET is the modern
equivalent of the Deforest Audion?

Freescale has ONE lousy MRAM part, a lousy 256k * 16 at $22.51 each, per
thousand. they are overpriced, and require magnetic shielding. Talk
about a "Boutique Part" It would take eight of them to replace a single
flash memory, and the price takes them completely out of the picture.
You lose, it would NEVER pass design review. Its too expensive, takes
too much board space and requires special shielding, yet has nothing on
the positive side. OTOH, the "Capstore" SRAM that was sold by ZMD was a
very useful part that I put into a design that is on the International
Space Station. http://www.zmd.de/pdf/CapStore.pdf

You are too dense to realize that EE times is a "gee whiz"
publication, like Popular Mechanics and the "Flying Car" articles they
used to run. yes, it COULD be built, but there is no valid reason to do
it.


If you like MRAM so much, why don't you put 4 GB of it in your PC?


So, once again it seems you are the DOLT, dolt.

They will be marketing it next year.

In real years, or marketing years? I guess that you like to let
marketing people blow smoke up your ass?

Maybe he IS a marketeer. Sounds like one; knows lots of words, but doesn't
know zip.

I doubt that he's smart enough for marketing, even though that is
near the bottom of the corporate food chain. Maybe he's the Janitor at
EE times? Janitors get a lot of smoke, too.

IF it is pertinent to the topic of optical memory (THE topic), please tell
us what is the "IT" that will beat the OC768 transmission rate by 16 times.

I think he's talking about this
http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=199501146

From it

The storage portion, called the Compact Holographic Data Storage (CHDS)
system, is "in the development stage," and Gladney said a prototype
should be ready in the fourth quarter, followed by a commercial product
in 2008. The 160-Gbit networking unit is "in the research stage" and
will require another 24 or 36 months "in terms of being ready for
commercial consideration," he said

and this

AON's game plan includes a page from the past, specifically its use of
a lithium niobate crystal as a holographic storage medium. Crystal
storage "was explored rigorously in the 1990s" by researchers at IBM Corp.
and elsewhere, but the technology did not yield a commercial product, Gladney said.

Their home page at www.accessopt.com isn't exactly confidence
inspiring and product specs hasn't been updated since 2005. Given the
comment in the article that they *need* 8 million in near term
funding, I suspect they might be talking up vapourware in order to
raise funds just to operate.

Although seriously, the 16x OC768 comment is irrelevant because that's
refering to the networking module's speed, not the optical storage.

are analogous to the electric components of electronic PCs.

You're assuming there are analogous parts, which there might not be so
your dream photonic PC is likely impossible at this point, at least in
the vague terms you described it. So until you have a better idea of
what/how to achieve this, I'll say consign it to the attic storage.

Anymore, Janator at EE Times is likely one of the more respected
jobs. At least one presumes they do an honest day's work, rather
than lay on their back with their legs spread.

At least his being a janitor would be an honest day's work.
Something he can't do on Usenet.

As well as an E-1 grade, holier than thou piece of shit can, I suppose.

 

[JackShepherd]

Because that is not the application it is meant for, dipshit.

So, once again it seems you are the DOLT, dolt.

Hardly.

It is really sad how you react to being found uniformed on a topic.

First, you deride the publication (which is not as you describe, btw),
then you deride the products in it.

Real good, Terrell. Par for the course for an asswipe that posts a
picture of a donkey EIGHT times in one thread, all because you dislike
the person you are having your "mature" discourse with in the thread.

Great job, asshole.

You lost. Get over it.

The technology comes from JPL.

Are you gonna put them down too now, boy?

Yawn. Look at the thousands of ideas they have pumped out since
their inception that lead nowhere. It is a research center, ad their
job is to test theories. Some work, and some don't. Think "Tax funded
Edison Labs".

Look in the miroor and take the "I'm an ass" sign off.

It doesn't matter, he went into the bucket as of last night.
