Intels Flash Memory drive, as in, Intels drive into the flash memory market, started out this month with the release of their X25-M and X25-E SSD’s, and they look impressive. The X25-E is primarily designed for enterprise applications with a lower 75ms read latency, while the 25-M, designed for the consumer and laptop market, has […]
In the field of SSD enterprise-level flash drives, IBM Research has hit a new benchmark. Based on their own SAN Volume Controller SVC, and using SSD developed by Fusion-io, their project Quicksilver surpassed the 1 million IOPS threshold. From their press release, The results were achieved using Flash solid-state technology coupled with IBM’s industry leading, […]
The spate of recent intel ATOM low-voltage processors has made a variety of products available that bask in the glory of the emerging market “ethic” of energy conservation. Asus in particular, with their eee pc 901, has coasted for awhile on the branding of their ASUS Eee PC 901 and 900 900 Linux or 900 […]
The roiling debate over green products in the electronic manufacturing sector is a strange hybrid of cultural assumptions: there seems to be a background cultural trope that says, technology is good, technology is what helps us achieve low-environmental impact, etc… and then, there are the practices of large scale consumer product manufacturing and economic realities. […]
Mesh networking components such as zigbee radios amongst others seem to enjoy a certain popularity amongst open source hardware advocates, even though they are often criticized for being hobbyist technology. The recent use mesh networks for the OLPC and third world low cost connectivity though has been an interesting sweet-spot in the deployment of the […]
Arduino is an excellent open-source microcontroller platform based on a simple Atmel ATMEGA8 and ATMEGA168 MC platform, with a developed range of language and interface tools. Compared to other MC boards like the Netmedia’s BX-24, Parallax Basic Stamp, Phidgets, and MIT’s Handyboard, it has an extended community that is highly involved in education, and thus […]
Emerging technology provides a unique opportunity to introduce science within education. The development of Memristors, the fourth passive component type after resistors, capacitors and inductors, along with other Solid State memory devices, takes us one step further to creating cheap, powerful, distributed solutions for sensing and processing.
