New research paper titled “FlexiCores: low footprint, high yield, field reprogrammable flexible microprocessors” from researchers at University of Illinois and PragmatIC Semiconductor. “Flexible ...

[Scott Baker] is at it again and this time he has built a 4-bit single board computer based on the Intel 4004 microprocessor. In the board design [Scott] covers the CPU (both the Intel 4004 and 4040 ...

CPUs that process 64 bits as a single unit, compared to 8, 16 or 32. Today's desktop and laptop computers are mostly 64-bit machines; however, there are countless 32-bit, 16-bit and 8-bit ...

What we are going to do is design a simple 4-bit computer at the primitive logic gate and flip-flop level and then implement it in the technology of our choice I’ve often wondered what would happen if ...

Erik Lustig's mom called him recently in a bit of a panic. She'd been in a retail store shopping for a computer and the sales guy asked her whether she wanted a 32-bit computer or a 64-bit computer, ...

Dan Geiger has created a new learning platform which has been specifically designed to teach you how a computer works at the most fundamental level, and even allows you to program in machine language ...

“We always hoped that something like this could be built – now we know that it can be built,” says Max Shulaker, professor at MIT and corresponding author on this latest report. Carbon nanotubes have ...

How would we handle metastability in our 4-bit computer if we were to implement it as a microcontroller chip, a single-board computer, or a cabinet-based system? Now, after laying all of this ...

Apple has announced that Snow Leopard will be available on the 28th of this month, which is only a few days away. In the mean time there are a lot of questions regarding 64-bit computing which are ...
