....embedded in everything from phones, light switches, motors, and building walls. They ll be the eyes and ears for the blind and deaf. On board networks of them will drive vehicles that communicate with their counter parts embedded in highways and other vehicles. The only limits will be 1 The Semetech (1994) National Semiconductor Roadmap, predicts that by 2010 a factor of 450 more transistors will reside on a chip than in 1997. This is based on an annual growth in transistors per chip of a factor of 1.6. Only a factor 225, or an annual improvement of 1.16 would required over the remaining 37 ....

....together forming the Internet. The commodity computer nodes will be the cluster building blocks we call them CyberBricks (Gray, 1996) By 2010, Sematech predicts CyberBricks with memories of 30 gigabytes, made from 8 gigabyte memory chips and processing speeds of 15 giga instructions per second (Semetech, 1994). 7 Massive computing power will come via scalable clusters of CyberBricks In 1997, the largest, scalable clusters contain hundreds of computers. Such clusters are used for both commercial database and transaction processing and for scientific computation. Meanwhile, large scale multiprocessors ....
