COMPUTER HARDWARE

Moore's Law 

The future of Data storage

The future of RAM

Computer chips

Moore's law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware.  Moore's law say that the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit

doubles approximately every two years so the capabilities of many electronic devices like: Processing speed.

Memory capacity.

Sensors.

Pixels in digital cameras.

will be doubled in performance and capacity

every two years.

* A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter,

or about one ten-thousandth of the thickness of

a human hair.

Moore's Law

From the 2020s onwards, it is possible that carbon nanotubes or a similar technology will reach the

mass market, creating a new paradigm that allows Moore's Law to continue.

Further into the future – 2020 -, chips may become integrated directly with the brain, combining

AI/human intelligence and dramatically enhancing our cognitive and learning abilities. 

Ultimately, Moore's Law could lead to a "technological singularity" – a point in time when machine

intelligence is evolving so rapidly that humans are left far, far behind

Moore's Law 

What is carbon nanotubes & its

advantages?

A Carbon Nanotube is a tube-shaped material, made of carbon, having a diameter measuring on the nanometer scale.

Advantages :1- Extremely small and lightweight, making them excellent replacements for metallic wires.2- Resources required to produce them are plentiful.3- Are resistant to temperature changes, meaning they function almost just as well in extreme cold as they do in extreme heat.

The memory capacity of the human brain has been estimated at between one and ten terabytes, with a most likely value of 3 terabytes.

Consumer hard drives are already available at this size.

The future of Data storage

The future of Data storage

Hard DriveHAMR Disk drives

Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording is a technology that will make room for 50TB HDDs in the

next few years, and upwards of 100TB in the next decade.

Basically, HAMR technology includes a laser added to a hard drive head, which will heat up the

area that is being written to.

Ultimately allowing data to be written on a smaller scale, and therefore increasing the amount of

data that can be stored on each platter within the drive.

The future of Data storage

Enterprise-grade SSDs reach 128TB of capacity

What is the difference between consumer SSD & Enterprise SSD?

New memory technology is 1,000 times faster

http://www.futuretimeline.net/

• The explosion of connected devices and digital services is generating massive amounts of new data.

• To make this data useful, it must be stored and analysed very quickly.

• This creating challenges for service providers and system builders who must balance cost, power

and performance trade-offs when they design memory and storage solutions.

• 3D XPoint technology combines the performance, density, power, non-volatility and cost

advantages of all available memory technologies on the market today.

• This technology is up to 1,000 times faster, with up to 1,000 times greater endurance than NAND,

and is 10 times denser than conventional memory.

addition to dust and water, ensuring readability for at least 50

years. 

• Future versions with capacities of 500 GB and 1 TB are planned.

• DDR4 is the fourth generation of double data rate.

• (SDRAM) after DDR (2002), DDR2 (2004) and DDR3 (2007).

•  It features:• greater speed

•  memory density

• energy efficiency

Computer chips

Researchers have announced a

breakthrough in the manufacture of 7

nanometer (nm) computer chips,

enabling the trend of Moore's Law to

continue for the next few years

http://www.futuretimeline.net/

7 nanometer chips enable Moore's Law to continue

IBM Research has announced the semiconductor industry's first 7nm (nanometer) node test

chips with functioning transistors.

To achieve the higher performance, lower power , researchers had to bypass conventional

semiconductor manufacturing approaches.

Industry experts consider 7nm technology crucial to meeting the anticipated demands of

future cloud computing and Big Data systems, cognitive computing, mobile products and

other emerging "exponential" technologies .

The Future Of Mobile Phones

It is 2015. Your mobile is now much more than just a

communication device - more like a remote control for your life. You still call it a "mobile" from habit, but it is :-• An organizer.• Entertainment Device.• Payment Device.

Trends in mobile technology: the next decade

MOBILE COMPUTING

2016 - Your smartphone will have a screen that lets you feel textures

Disney researchers have been hard at work developing touchscreens that let you feel texture. Through

electrostatic charges, your brain is tricked into feeling texture just by touching your device’s screen.

MOBILE COMPUTING

2022 - You will use your body as an input surface

• This is currently an emerging technology, but with interesting implications for user interface design. 

• Known as 'bioacoustic sensing', this technology essentially uses highly sensitive acoustic sensors on your body,

which listen for the sound of your finger touching your skin.

• This allows the skin to be used as a finger surface, whereby you could dial a phone number onto your hand, for

example, or use your forearm as a scrolling interface. Tap near your wrist to scroll up, tap near your elbow to

scroll down.

Trends in mobile technology: the next decade

MOBILE COMPUTING

2023 - You will be able to control your smartphone with your mind

• instead of the headset format of today, we expect smart devices of 2023 to be reading our

brainwaves and allowing interaction with computers through thought alone.

Smartphones Get Cool New Power Options

There’s been a recent breakthrough in battery technology that allows

smartphone users to charge their cellphones through motions, such as

walking or tapping the screen. Actually, even your body heat might be

enough to give your phone a charge in the future.

Ultra-rapid charger

• Other trending battery technology includes an ultra-rapid charger that

only takes 30 seconds to charge your device. It’s expected to be

mainstream by 2016.

'SixthSense' is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical

world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand

gestures to interact with that information.

SixthSense technology has integrated information with the real world

objects with digital world .

It associates technologies like hand gesture recognition , image

JUST OVER THE HORIZON

Scientists have developed a self-healing, flexible sensor that mimics the self-healing properties of human skin.

Cuts or scratches to the sensors "heal" themselves in less than one day.

 Future possible applications could include the creation of

‘electronic skin’ and prosthetic limbs that allow wearers to ‘feel’ changes in their environments.

Self-healing sensor brings 'electronic skin' closer to reality

JUST OVER THE HORIZON

3-D printing definition :

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three

dimensional solid objects from a digital file.

The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes.

In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers

of material until the entire object is created.

Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section

of the eventual object.

3D-printed human organs

By 2025 – after testing on animals – customized 3D-printing of

major human organs is becoming feasible for the first time.

Although yet to be fully perfected (as certain types of organs remain

too complex), this is nevertheless a major boost for life extension

efforts.

In the coming decades, more and more of the 78 organs in the human

body will become printable

• In 2015, the United Kingdom introduces Finger Vein

Authentication Technology (VeinID) to improve banking security.

• These devices are initially provided to corporate clients, but soon

made available to regular consumers.

• Desktop card readers, phone authentication and PIN codes are no

longer needed as vein pattern recognition is both faster and more

reliable.

• It is practically impossible to spoof or replicate – even more

accurate than fingerprint ID – .

•  The finger must be attached to a live human body in order for

veins in the finger to be scanned.

Personal biometric scanners for online banking

• The process takes just two seconds, using :

• A near-infrared (NIR) LED

• Monochrome CCD camera sensor

• Monochrome CCD camera sensor make the red

pigment in blood (haemoglobin) absorb NIR light ,

with veins appearing as dark lines.
