CELL

Arbeitstitel eines extrem interessanten Prozessor-/Software-/Systemarchitektur-Projekts von Sony, IBM und Toshiba, geleitet von Ken Kutaragi:

...but what I would like to stress is that the concept of packaging, or box, would disappear in the broadband era. Same thing can be said of the concept of servers and clients. A band of CELL would assume the role of the existing computer system and would establish a living organism like the real cell. World's broadband will consist of an aggregation of CELL. One CELL has a capacity to have 1TFLOPS performance and an aggregation of 1,000 CELLs would have 1P (Pets) FLOPS. The capacity of 1P is an equivalent to the information processing ability of one human being. Thus creation of another world is possible if we were able to collect CELLs that equal to the capacity of 5 billion people.
