David Duca ( duca@swcp.com ) wanted this put onto the list to see what
folks had to say about it...I suggested he subscribe so we'll see, here
is what he proposes;
----------------------------
An old idea came to mind the other day. One that's been taunting at my
noodle for the past nine years. As follows...
"On matters of the polymer-matrice-processor, it can be a real thing.
You just have to imagine in 3 dimensions of just one MPU, or
micro-processor-unit, and multiply by, say, 256,000 layers.
In this chamber, of about 2 cm cubed, the polymer gas coexists with
several other compounds. Then three unique lasers project an image of a
computer processor, then another, and another, until many layers are
formed.
Once this matrix-pc has been formed, the power and data throughput are
derived directly from a single laser which serves as the mother-stream
to accomodate the I/O to the outside world.
Sounds like something from a sci-fi novel...hey?
So you ask...what makes one layer talk to another in this matrix
computer?
Simple....the polymer gas is merely the foundation for conducting the
structure of the computers. Inter-layer communications is acheived by
optical junctions in the up and down channels of the architecture. The
entire device's life span and speed are directly dependant on the laser.
Granted we're only talking about 1/250th of a watt power."
OK Jerry, this would be another good example of using phase-conjugate
imaging. Since, as you know, micro electronics can optically create
circuits from templates, why not use these same templates into the
matrice structure of a semi-latent pc?
Please put this up on your site...as either a challenge or "bait".
Could bring about some interesting results. Because polymer gas will
form conductors from a focused laser beam. And the PoP comes from
...circa 1989- Sandia Labs. Kirkland AFB, NM.
