What would you do with a peta-flop?
How would you move windows on the screen if you had peta-flops?Transparency? Themes? HD? 3D? Any other ideas?
Yes, of course ...
Today, we have tera flops. 1012 Floating Point Operations Per Second. In our graphics card. On the playstation's cell processor.
In the near future we will have peta flops. What would you wanna do with it? Move windows on the screen for a better user experience ?
Imagine, someone offered a ship to Christopher Columbus, that could sail across the horizon. What would Columbus like to do with it ?
Hiss more beautiful colored sails? Stay in harbour and try to make the anchors more compatible with the ground?
What did we expect computers to be?
THINKING machines.
Think about it.
