| Experimental 36-core chip unveiled Posted: 23 Jun 2014 09:10 AM PDT The more cores -- or processing units -- a computer chip has, the bigger the problem of communication between cores becomes. Some have argued that the massively multicore chips of the future will need to resemble little Internets, where each core has an associated router, and data travels between cores in packets of fixed size.  |

The researchers said: "We wanted to see whether a machine could answer questions, such as 'Do children resemble their parents?' 'Do children resemble one parent more than another?' and 'What parts of the face are more genetically inspired?'"  |
