Simulating the Universe

<< < (2/5) > >>

Welwordion:
Moores law recently became more jumpy meaning have we have periods of now grow and then sudden inventions(like wit evolution  ). So lets first wait until quantum computers run , which will be a big jump until we assume were the border is (Which is currently limited trough the fact you can not make chip structures smaller than molecules, or better the limit is before that as you have to deal with quantum effects etc if you go on molecule size)

Numsgil:
Most industry analysis still sees Moore's law as holding through the next several chip generations, but you're right, there does seem to be some fundamental design hurdles involved with miniaturization.

However, a simulation of the universe would be quite parallelizable, which I think is where the new frontier in CPUs is going to take us.

Elite:
Hmm ... wouldn't it be interesting to run a really massive DB evosim on a supercomputer?

I don't suppose anyone has access to one  

Greven:
Anyway a nice introduction to the The Quantum Computer. And I think he is danish...

Zelos:
it would rather be 550 years from now
