IBM Makes First Racetrack Memory Chip

holy_calamity writes "For several years, we've followed the progress of IBM's revolutionary 'racetrack' memory, which stores data inside nanowires for several years. Now Big Blue has made the first prototype integrated onto a single chip, using the CMOS processing technique used in commercial chip fabs. It's still a research prototype, but goes some way to validate IBM's claim that the technology could be commercialized."

I was disappointed

to find that the article has nothing to do with Deep Blue simulating a bunch of dogs chasing a fake rabbit.

This will give computers the ability to gain performance through the use of red paint and stickers!

Stay away from the NASCAR version. It only works for programs stuck in loops.

Will this will allow Programming to become a full fledged sport. Surround by folks around the country taking it as a opportunity to drink of oversize "beer" cans. Cheering as code fails to compile or causes a major system failure in the last 10 minutes.

That's why I prefer the P2P versions, like Rally. Even with the F1 version Europeans seem partial to, no matter how fancy the execution gets you are still just running through a loop and end up back in the same place you started.
