From the Graveyard
You just read about Semiconductors. A name from the archive that helped shape it:
Xelerated built Programmable network processors. What became of it?
Xelerated brought Programmable network processors to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Marvell Technology. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Marvell Technology today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Semiconductors. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Magnetic bubble memory served 1970–1980. What ultimately replaced it?
Magnetic bubble memory stored bits as tiny magnetic domains ('bubbles') shuffled around a garnet film by a rotating magnetic field - solid-state and non-volatile, with no moving parts. Its job passed to Cheap DRAM and disk — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
From 25 years of the Converge Digest archive.
