This might be the breakthrough we also have been working on [1] for over 20 years. It would be even better if Avicena wouldn't drive the led array and detector array with high power 10 Gbps SerDes. Even better if you align a blue led array with lenses to a
detector array on a second chip: free space optics [2].
I would love to join you at Avicena and work on your breakthrough instead of just acquiring the IP from you in a few years.
I also strongly suspect that there are earlier sources.
However, IRAM looks like compute near memory where they will add an ALU to the memory chip. compute in memory is about using the memory array itself.
To be fair, CIM looked much less appealing before the advent of deep-learning with crazy vector lengths. So people rather tried to build something that allows more fine grained control of the operations.
We usually ask around on the NANOG mailing list. Someone on that list usually already knows the contact method or a person at an ISP, datacenter or hyperscaler.
Let's hope we don't see any 'brown trout' in there :-)
Seriously, though, I love a nice green algae for some good old oxygen.
I just saw some all along the shore of a small tributary at a local park that had tons of little (but not tiny) bubbles all over it. I thought it might be oxygen.
We could use some Complex Adaptive System architecture to create galaxies. Or we could call them Gestalts instead of CAS.
In gestalts
entities,
use rules
to interact with a read/write message bus.
Ants. Pheromone trails. Write when you find food, not if you don't.
We have the pieces for this. Entities - people. We have a r/w bus - the internet. What we don't have are rules. We can think of rules - the kind Wolfram talks about in NKofS - instead as a language. A language in the sense of Sapir-Whorf. "Twitter and Tear Gas" (Zeynep Tufecki) is a good illustration of Sapir-Whorf in internet languages. (Available as a pdf I think)
That language is the missing link. In Real Life there is a language for collaboration. Perhaps the task is to understand the elements of IRL collaboration and then transpose it.
One could make some guesses about fundamentals. As we have all discovered, one fundamental is trust. IRL Trust is identity and reputation based. With many caveats. Perhaps we could start by considering
A New Kind of Identity. ?
