The scientists ran a “cortical simulator” that was as big and as complex as half of a mouse brain on the BlueGene L supercomputer. In other smaller simulations the researchers say they have seen characteristics of thought patterns observed in real mouse brains. Now the team is tuning the simulation to make it run faster […]
Figuring out a way to make semiconductors make themselves would certainly save everyone a lot of time and money, and IBM next week says it will discuss a technique that moves it closer to the goal of self-assembly.
On May 3, researchers will provide some details on what IBM says is a commercially practical technique for […]
Executives at IBM, the world’s No. 2 software maker, and MySQL told Reuters they will announce a technology and marketing partnership on Wednesday at a MySQL users’ conference in Santa Clara, California. MySQL is a privately held company that develops standardized versions of the open-source MySQL database. It makes money by selling service agreements that […]

IBM and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), however, are helping to educate students on the unorthodox processor with the first program in the U.S. structured around the capabilities of the Cell Broadband Engine. IBM, Sony, and Toshiba […]
Net income rose to $1.84 billion, or $1.21 per share, from $1.71 billion, or $1.08 per share, a year earlier. Revenue climbed to $22 billion from $20.7 billion, IBM said. Analysts, on average, expected earnings of $1.21 per share on revenue of $21.9 billion, according to Reuters Estimates. Last year, IBM paid nearly $5 billion […]
IBM on Thursday introduced a half-dozen low-power BladeCenter and System x servers that combine the latest energy-efficient technology from Big Blue and chip makers Advanced Micro Devices and Intel.
The BladeCenter HS21, and the System x3550 and x3650 are available with an Intel Xeon 50-watt, quad-core processor. In addition, dual core Xeon processors, which are […]
