IBM Telum processor

27.08.2021

IBM introduced the Telum processor. This is a very unusual solution based on AI and designed to ensure security.

IBM itself speaks of the new solution as a processor for accelerating artificial intelligence. And it's built for deep learning in enterprise workloads to solve fraud problems in real time. Telum succeeds the IBM z15 and will be the central processing unit for the next generation of IBM Z and LinuxOne systems.

According to the press release, businesses today typically use detection methods to detect fraud after it has occurred. This process can be time consuming and computationally intensive due to the limitations of current technology, especially when analysis and fraud detection are conducted away from critical transactions and data. Telum aims to help customers change their mindset from fraud detection to fraud prevention.

The new chip features an innovative centralized design that allows customers to harness the full power of the AI processor for AI-enabled workloads, making it ideal for financial services workloads such as fraud detection, loan processing, transaction clearing and settlement, and anti-money laundering. money and risk analysis. With these innovations, customers will be able to improve fraud detection based on existing rules or use machine learning to speed up loan approval processes, improve customer service, and identify which deals or transactions are likely to fail.

The processor is manufactured using a 7 nm process technology and contains 22 billion transistors. It contains 8 cores with a frequency of more than 5 GHz and 2 MB L32 cache. There is also a 3MB L256 virtual cache and a 4GB L2 cache. The launch of Telum-based systems is scheduled for the first half of next year.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Highly sensitive camera will search for extraterrestrial life and dark matter 21.11.2019

Researchers from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created the most highly sensitive camera to date, the pixels of which are sensors that can capture single photons of light. This camera has more than a thousand pixels on its sensor and is designed to be installed on next-generation space telescopes, where it will be used to search for chemical signs of life on other planets, searches for the elusive dark matter, which accounts for most of the entire matter of the Universe.

Each pixel of the nova is a tungsten-silicon nanowire, 3.5 millimeters long, 180 nanometers wide, and 3 nanometers thick. These nanowires are placed on a silicon substrate and connected to the "outside world" by wire connections made of superconducting niobium. This pixel arrangement of the camera provides the best speed, efficiency and color range available today. Such sensors have already been used by NIST specialists in the past to study the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, which Albert Einstein called "ghost action at a distance."

In addition, a new type of photosensitive sensors has a very low level of intrinsic noise, which eliminates the possibility of false positives and data distortion. This feature is extremely important for dark matter searches and space astronomy, where it is necessary to capture single photons with the lowest energy, photons located at the farthest end of the infrared range.

The NIST camera is small in size, its crystal is a square with a side of 1,6 millimeters, on which 1024 sensors are placed in the form of a matrix of 32 by 32 pixels. With such a dense arrangement of pixels, NIST researchers first encountered the problem of overheating of the camera crystal, but later, by expanding the electrical conductors of the information reading circuits, this problem was successfully solved.

Now researchers have already achieved that 99,5% of fully functional sensors are obtained at the output of the production technological line. The next steps that scientists intend to take will be to increase the efficiency of pixel sensors in order to increase their sensitivity in the boundary ranges. And only after that, the researchers plan to start creating large versions of cameras, the number of pixels in which will be in the millions.

The parameters of the new camera were measured at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and at the California Institute of Technology. After all, only there is all the electronics necessary for such measurements, which is now used to develop and implement optical communication systems in deep space.
