Startup Combines CPU and DRAM
MojoKid writes "CPU design firm Venray Technology announced a new product design this week that it claims can deliver enormous performance benefits by combining CPU and DRAM on to a single piece of silicon. Venray's TOMI (Thread Optimized Multiprocessor) attempts to redefine the problem by building a very different type of microprocessor. The TOMI Borealis is built using the same transistor structures as conventional DRAM; the chip trades clock speed and performance for ultra-low low leakage. Its design is, by necessity, extremely simple. Not counting the cache, TOMI is a 22,000 transistor design. Instead of surrounding a CPU core with L2 and L3 cache, Venray inserted a CPU core directly into a DRAM design. A TOMI Borealis core connects eight TOMI cores to a 1Gbit DRAM with a total of 16 ICs per 2GB DIMM. This works out to a total of 128 processor cores per DIMM. That said, when your CPU has fewer transistors than an architecture that debuted in 1986, there is a good chance that you left a few things out--like an FPU, branch prediction, pipelining, or any form of speculative execution. Venray may have created a chip with power consumption an order of magnitude lower than anything ARM builds and more memory bandwidth than Intel's highest-end Xeons, but it's an ultra-specialized, ultra-lightweight core that trades 25 years of flexibility and performance for scads of memory bandwidth."
My saliva is dribblin' down your bootyasscheekcrackhole right now. Why? Because I slurped it until there was nothin' left to slurp!
Dont read this....it is a curse
In 2007 a little boy named joey was taken by aliens, they told him we will feast on what is inside.Then the aliens took his clothes and started throwing potatos at his ass, then they ate his shit and poked his ass to tickle his ass. Now that you have read this the aliens will eat your shit and poke the inner parts of your ass to tickle it unless you do the following:

I'm gonna slurp it! Oh, you better believe I'm gonna slurp it! I'm gonna slurp your ass! Slurp it real good! Slurp it until there's spit all over it! Lots of spit and mucus! Mucus stringing from one end of your opened anus to the other end!
