CPUs Of The Future Will Store And Process Data - Gizmo Watch
CPUs Of The Future Will Store And Process Data - Gizmo Watch: "Researchers have geared to get magnetic data storage capabilities of semiconductor materials to our daily use devices, intending to make them smaller and faster. Computers and other devices use CPUs to execute programs and have separate units for storage. Therefore, even the fastest device takes time in execution of data, because the data takes time in traveling from the unit where it is stored to the unit where it has to be executed. The concept of a vital magnetic characteristic from the semiconductor materials demonstrated for the first time by the scientists of the National Institute of Standards and Technology would be a breakthrough that’ll provide devices with only one unit to both compute and store data.
Developed by NIST in collaboration with the Korea University and the University of Notre Dame, the thin magnetic layer of semiconductor materials separated by a nonmagnetic layer, will line one layer of itself in the opposite magnetic pole direction of the other, exhibiting the phenomenon demonstrated by antiferromagnetic coupling, thereby raising the bar of expectation for circuitry units that could both store and process data.
