GitHub is a platform that helps people solve problems by building software together. So, how does it work? Let us take the very basic example given by GitHub, all the time! Continue reading

i9 9900K: 9th generation Intel
One year ago discussions were going about Intel’s coffee lake chips and now they are back with the ninth generation core Intel chips also called the coffee lake refresh. The first coffee lake brought us Intel’s first six-core mainstream processors and now the Refresh is launching with the i9 9900 K, an 8 core processor that can boost up to Continue reading
Architecture War: 32bit vs 64bit
This ‘vs’ was started by the tech crowd when AMD launched their first desktop CPU with a 64-bit architecture, early in 2003. Again when a smartphone with a 64-bit CPU came, it become a hot topic once more. But what does it actually mean for an average customer? Starting with what a bit, very briefly, one bit is a single character in binary either 1 or 0, so it can only express up to 2 values. Now with 2 bits, we can express up to 4 values similarly with 3 bits that go up to 8. Continue reading
Neuromorphic Computing: The Horizon
Remember when cellphones had keypad like a 1 2 3 maybe… You could call, text, maybe play snake on it … and it had about 6 megabytes of memory, which was a small miracle at the time. Then, phones got faster and around every two years, you probably upgraded your phone from 8 gigs to 16 to 32 and so on. This incremental technological progress we’ve all been participating in for years clings on to one key trend, called Continue reading
Cache Memory : 512 kb ??
When you think of memory in your computer, you might think of things like DVR modules, V’RAM on your graphics card or most likely just hard drives and SSDs, but there’s actually another type of memory that’s incredibly fast and essential, Continue reading
Silicon to Gallium Oxide : The Short Transitioning detail
Sending satellites to space used to take a computer, the size of a washing machine. Now that same computational power can be packed into something as small as an iPad, but as we aim for smaller devices we have reached our threshold.Our current materials and techniques may not allow us to continue to progress at this pace and because of this we’re being pushed in new and exciting directions like Continue reading
