A high-level depiction of the Spaun model, with all of the central features of a general Semantic Pointer Architecture.

One of the challenges of understanding the complex behavior of animals is to relate the behavior to the complex processes occurring within the brain. So far, neural models have not been able to bridge this gap, but a new software model, Spaun, goes some way to addressing this problem.

The world’s smallest magnetic data storage unit is made of just 12 atoms, squeezing an entire byte into just 96 atoms, a significant shrinkage in the world of information storage. It’s not a quantum computer, but it’s a computer storage unit at the quantum scale. By contrast, modern hard disk drives use about a million atoms to store a single bit, and a half billion atoms per byte.

Blade server- The server Technology

Everyone of us know that when we want to search for any query we will type the same in the GOOGLE search engine and wait for the results….we get very frustrated even if the time taken to show us the result is more than 3-4 seconds….

But the server has to go through many number of algorithms to compute the result….it has to compute more than billions of calculations in a second, so the characteristics of the server effects our search result….

DELL has come up with a new server technology called BLADE SERVER….Let us know what this technology is about….

WHAT IS BLADE SERVER

A blade server is a stripped down server computer with a modular design optimized to minimize the use of physical space and energy. Whereas a standard rack-mount server can function with (at least) a power cord and network cable, blade servers have many components removed to save space, minimize power consumption and other considerations, while still having all the functional components to be considered a computer. A blade enclosure, which can hold multiple blade servers, provides services such as power, cooling, networking, various interconnects and management. Together, blades and the blade enclosure form the blade system. (Different blade providers have differing principles regarding what to include in the blade itself, and in the blade system altogether.)
