Single-chip system Huawei Kirin 970

07.09.2017

Huawei Consumer Business Group has introduced a new single-chip system for smartphones. The novelty is called Kirin 970, and its key feature is hardware support for artificial intelligence (AI) applications. According to the manufacturer, it "brings AI to life and changes the way we interact with devices."

AI support in a mobile device is made up of the means of the device itself and cloud services. The second component has developed noticeably over the past years, but the capabilities on the device side have room for improvement. Since smartphones account for user interaction, improvement at this stage will better understand and meet individual needs.

Therefore, the Kirin 970 configuration includes not only an 8-core CPU (four Cortex-A73 cores running at 2,4GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores running at 1,8GHz) and a 12-core Mali-G72MP12 GPU, but also a new unit - the neural processor (Neural Processing Unit or NPU). The heterogeneous Kirin 970 complex outperforms the quad-core Cortex-A73 CPU by 25 times in performance and 50 times in energy efficiency.

A single-chip system manufactured using 10-nanometer technology includes 5,5 billion transistors. The area of the crystal is 1 cm2.

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, ... >>

Cyclones are 10% stronger 12.03.2020

Ultra-precise computer simulations conducted by the NCAR Atmospheric Research Center in Boulder, Colorado, USA, have shown that global warming has significantly increased the destructive power of tropical cyclones and caused them to move deep into the Australian continent, according to a climate scientists report released on Wednesday by the Australian Association of Insurance Companies (IAG ).

According to scientists, in the last 5 years, the intensity and destructive power of tropical cyclones hitting the northern coast of the continent has increased by almost 10%.

This data was confirmed by another group of experts - a team of meteorologists, hydrologists, engineers and mathematicians, assembled by IAG after the floods in Queensland last February. Through extensive field research and computer simulations, scientists have found that rising temperatures in the oceans surrounding Australia have caused tropical cyclones to increasingly remain strong enough to move deeper into Australia.

According to meteorologists, cyclones will move further south, affecting densely populated areas of the continent. An increase in sea temperature of just 1 ° above + 26 ° can increase the power of a cyclone by one category, making a typhoon out of a storm.

Information from computer simulations convincingly indicates that the advance of cyclones to the south is just a matter of time. The area of the tropics is expanding towards the poles, which means that regions with tropical weather systems are also growing and will experience a constant increase in the number of cyclones and their intensity.
