The future of computing beyond Moore’s Law (sci article). This article provides an updated view of what a post-exascale system will look like and the challenges ahead, based on our most recent understanding of technology roadmaps. It also discusses the tapering of historical improvements, and how it affects options available to continue scaling of successors to the first exascale machine. Lastly, this article covers the many different opportunities and strategies available to continue computing performance improvements in the absence of historical technology drivers

KINESKA TELEPORTACIJA. Kina je ostvarila neočekivani podvig u kvantnom umravanju još pre četiri godine: 2016 g. izveli su prvu teleportaciju u kosmos. U istom trenu se svetlosna čestica (foton) odaslata sa Zemlje našla u satelitu koji obleće oko nje na visini od 1.400 do 500 kilometara. Iz pustinje Gobi, koja delom zalazi u Mongoliju, raketa-nosač „Dugi marš 2D” je iznela satelit „Mo Di” ili „Mo Ci”, sa imenom čuvenog kineskog filozofa iz 391. godine (na latinskom Micius), potonjeg osporavaoca neprikosnovenog Konfučija i konfučijanstva.

Umesto da pošalju sam foton kroz prostor, iskoristili su pojavu koja se zove „kvantno preplitanje” (Quantum entanglement) i prebacili sve informacije od kojih se sastoji do druge tačke. Tako su, u stvari, načinili istovetan umnožak, čime je izvorni primerak smesta nestao. Rečnikom fizike, oba se opisuju istom talasnom funkcijom.

Pandemija će duboko promeniti privredu, Evropa je u odličnom položaju.  Ekonomska kriza izazvana pandemijom bolesti COVID-19 “duboko će promeniti” privredu sveta, uneti više ekologije, digitalizacije i novih načina rada, a Evropa je “u odličnom položaju”, ocenila je predsednica Evropske centralne banke (ECB) Kristin Lagard. Ova kriza “ubrzaće preobražaje koji su već bili latentni u našim ekonomijama”, predvidela je ona tokom video-konferencije sa francuskim zvaničnicima u Parizu.

US: Don’t Know How Much Stimulus Is Needed? Put it on Autopilot, Some Say. One of the trickiest questions facing Congress when it takes up the debate on new stimulus later this month is just how much help the economy needs to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Some economists and lawmakers say they have the solution: put stimulus on autopilot, so that aid to households automatically becomes more or less generous as economic triggers are hit. They say enhanced unemployment benefits could be authorized to continue until the unemployment rate falls below a preset threshold, avoiding the political fights that can slow stimulus efforts.

How to build a data architecture to drive innovation—today and tomorrow. McKinsey, July, 2020. Over the past several years, organizations have had to move quickly to deploy new data technologies alongside legacy infrastructure to drive market-driven innovations such as personalized offers, real-time alerts, and predictive maintenance.

Now, as companies navigate the unprecedented humanitarian crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for the next normal, the need for flexibility and speed has only amplified. In this study McKinsey team observed six foundational shifts companies are making to their data-architecture blueprints that enable more rapid delivery of new capabilities and vastly simplify existing architectural approaches.
