IBM Announces Chip Morphing Technology

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the self-fixing-problems dept.

An anonymous reader writes "IBM has announced that it is now capable of producing self-healing chips. From the article: 'eFUSE works by combining software algorithms and microscopic electrical fuses, opposed to laser fuses, to produce chips that can regulate and adapt their own actions in response to changing conditions and system demands.' It goes on to say that the IBM system is more robust than previous methods, and that the chips are already in production. The future is here!"

    Anyway, the chip morphing thing doesn't morph like a caterpillar to a butterfly.

  2. Self-healing cool, color scheme sucks by scruffy · · Score: 0, Troll
    Self-healing chips are cool, but this color scheme sucks.

    Maybe we can direct IBM's research toward self-healing color schemes.
