2024 Wheeler Lecture: Supercharging the Human Mind With AI
How can human-centred AI enable us to achieve ever greater feats through new 'supertools' that expand our minds and dare us to think differently? That's the thought-provoking question Prof Yvonne Rogers FRS - Director of the Interaction Centre at UCL - discussed at our Wheeler Lecture in October 2024. You can watch the lecture in full here.

    I think Intel is holding back because the cost v. reward ratio for going smaller on conventional silicon lithography isn't going to be great. Essentially it will be easier to print individual atoms onto a substrate than it will be to create and develop all of the masks required to print with conventional lithography onto silicon. They're essentially at their limit with the use of actual LIGHT frequencies. Once the architecture is less than 1/4 of the light wavelength you run into the problems, like propagation, that make you require all of the extra masks to make the lithography actually work so this is a path of diminishing returns, just like tooling up for 450mm silicon would have been, and it is obvious that Intel is well aware of the fact. I wonder if the execs who green-lit 450mm silicon projects are still working for the same companies.

    (1) Is supercomputing now exclusively done by parallelism? Is there any research that could yield a much faster (TeraHertz +) CPU even at great cost? (2) 1:00:50 Since masks are expensive, has there been research for alternatives? Perhaps some kind of dynamic mask where elements can be polarised like liquid crystals, or reprogrammed by a laser?

    Processor speed progress walls. We need more parallel software? Say you had it. Processors still need data to process, right? Well with infinite power comes infinite data starvation. What about memory latency? Total bandwidth can increase as long as we have buses that we can widen but latency? I think we need a software revolution that makes good use of scratchpad memory.

Typical programmers are put off by all the nuisance data juggling and timing difficulties. Hence my statement. The model deserves a rethink. It technically works but it's not easy.

    She also mentioned the EUV tech being made by an EU company. What many don't realize is, they don't actually own the tech themselves. The US does. They have a license to use it in manufacturing their machines as they took on the engineering challenge of taking the tech and producing a practical product with it.

  • @Maadhawk

    She feels out of touch on the intel vs amd vs tsmc vs samsung situation. Doesn't invalidate much of what she says, she just has the reason wrong on why AMD has returned to competitiveness and how it has galvanized intel. You could also hear her clear partisanship for intel which is surprising giving her role history with ARM. The real reason many companies have had to drop out of the race for 10nm and below is because only a single company on the entire planet has successfully developed the tools for it, ASMC in the Netherlands. They can only build so many each year and every unit they build is being snapped up by TSMC, Samsung, and Intel.

    • @djmips

    Schools in Australia had these. My Dad was a Maths 1, Maths 2 and Physics teacher, who spent his free time on electronics. As such, he was chosen to be the Computer Class teacher. He bought a BBC Model B to use at home. Somehow we ended up with 2 of them but I don't know why 😀 As a young kid I used to get BBC Micro User magazine. Each copy had the BASIC code for a game printed in them for you to then type in yourself (learn to code and get a game out of it). I learned BBC BASIC and Assembly Language through this period. Learning to code resulted in a lifelong interest / hobby, me pursuing an ICT degree, and a subsequent 20+ year career in ICT. So from my perspective they achieved their aim. I also have at least half a dozen Raspberry Pi computers performing functions around the house.

    This is awesome! In 1983 when I was 6, my dad bought an Acorn Electron and that was my introduction to computers and programing in BASIC. We had room fulls of Acorn BBC Micro's and Acorn Archimedes machines at our senior school as well. I moved onto the Atari ST after using the Acorn for about 8 years, and then jumped into PC gaming at college. It seems like Dr Wilson's work might be the major reason behind my interest in tech.

    I've seen Sophie give versions of this talk and am often surprised at how (unintentionally?) critical she is of the humble 6502. I urge people to watch the Computer History Museum's oral history with Chuck Peddle. In short, the 6502 design team had a transitor/die-size budget in 1974 and it is REMARKABLE what they achieved for the price. It is no surprise that with a further decade of computer science research into CPU design, Sophie and Steve were able to vastly improve their blank-sheet design. My point is, some industry and economic context would be useful with regards CPU design decisions.

      I don't think Sophie's being critical at all of the 6502. Everyone knows the 6502 was a pretty good achievement in its day. The smart thing that Steve & Roger/Sophie realised was that by adopting RISC concepts, *they* could achieve a significant breakthrough...and that it didn't need a massive team of CPU experts to design a powerful RISC CPU...

    If I read 1:06:25 correctly, then the number of transistors per core has also plateaued out: If you subtract the number of logical cores from the transistors, the transistor scatter graph looks a lot more like the other three.

    • @mr_waffles_the_dog
      @mr_waffles_the_dog 2 года назад

      Moore's law is a statement on the total number of transistors on the die rather than per computation unit. If you really wanted to limit it to processing units, discarding the additional ALUs, etc from the transistor count isn't really appropriate, but then in most modern CPUs the majority (>50%) of the transistors on a device are in on die caches so you'd be discarding those :D Interestingly the size of transistors in caches can actually be smaller than elsewhere as fabs often have specially designed memory cells that are very highly optimized for the specific task and process

    • @ropersonline
      @ropersonline 2 года назад

      @@mr_waffles_the_dog I suppose what I'm trying to get at is that because of the issues with parallelism in general-purpose computing, more logical cores don't necessarily count the same as pre-multicore transistor count and performance increases once did. So the question whether per-core performance is still increasing, perhaps due to on-die caches, is an interesting one. And maybe the answer is, not as much as we'd like.
