China-based internet giant Alibaba is hinting that it has designed a processor that solves an issue that has long plagued the chip industry. The von Neumann bottleneck is a principle in computer science that denotes a system’s throughput is directly impacted by the ability of its processor to access memory data.
Essentially, the limits of bus speeds within a machine mean CPUs typically have to wait while information is pulled from memory. Of course, such pauses are infinitesimal in terms of
