21. He sees teenagers who would never sign up for a physics or calculus class applying the principles of both in their computer designs. 22. IBM executives said the new technology could conceivably spawn a renaissance in computer design. 23. In conventional computer designs, the memory for storage is separate from the processor. 24. In my view the consumer electronics industry has lacked a lot of the excitement of computer design. 25. It has since branched out into high-speed computer design, environmental cleanup and the synthesis of new materials. 26. It has since found its way into commercial computer designs. 27. Once a computer design is created, its image is mathematically analyzed and sliced into thin cross sections. 28. Rapid prototyping involves the transformation of computer designs into three-dimensional objects, speeding the design process for everything from cell phones to medical equipment. 29. Sutherland says that after a decade of work his group has made breakthroughs that will soon make asynchronous computer designs possible on a significant scale. 30. That has led to a decline in research into new computer designs. |
