2018: IBM provided the smallest computer in the world
On March 19, 2018 the IBM corporation during the Think 2018 conference in Las Vegas, the USA, provided the most miniature computer in the world. Executed in the form of the tiny chip of the size of a salt crystal, the computer may contain from several hundred thousands to 1 million transistors, the small volume of a static random access memory, a LED (LED), the photodetector providing communication, and the integrated photoelectric cell for a power supply.
Despite diminutiveness, by the computing opportunities the chip is comparable to x86 processor of 1990. The manufacturing cost of such computer is less than 10 cents, declare in IBM. As envisioned by IT giant, thanks to the low cost and the small sizes such chips can be implemented everywhere, Fortune tells. It is supposed that together with blockchain technology such chips will find broad application in the field of logistics.[1]
In general the range of tasks which the computer can execute is rather wide: tracking of shipments of goods, detection of thefts, frauds and non-compliance with certain regulations, basic problems of artificial intelligence, sorting of data, etc.
 | In the next five years of a cryptotag (engl. cryptographic anchors, srypto-anchors) in the form of tiny computers or droplets of ink will appear in all objects of everyday life and devices. In a tandem with technology of the distributed registers (blockchain) they will be used for ensuring authenticity of products on all transit from the place of creation to the buyer. Such technologies open new opportunities for security of food, authenticity of production components, genetically modified products and also identifications of a counterfeit and tracking of origin of luxury goods — the head of department of researches of IBM of Arvind Krishna (Arvind Krishna) wrote about development.[2] |  |
By March 19, 2018 specialists of the American corporation test miniature computers. Specific terms of an exit of products of IBM are not called.[3]
