I-Revolutionary "Project Silica" Ivula Inkathi Entsha Ekugcinweni Kwedatha!

I-Microsoft Research yembule isisekelo "Iphrojekthi Silica" lokho kuthumele amagagasi omhlaba emhlabeni wonke. Empeleni, le phrojekthi ihlose sungula indlela ye-eco-friendly usebenzisa ama-laser asheshayo ukugcina inani elikhulu ledatha ngaphakathi kwamaphaneli engilazi . Njengoba sazi kahle, ukugcinwa kanye nokucutshungulwa kwedatha kunemithelela ebalulekile yendawo ezungezile, namadivayisi okugcina endabuko afana nama-hard disk drive nama-optical discs adinga ugesi ukuze ugcinwe futhi ube nokuphila okulinganiselwe. Ekubhekaneni nenkinga yokugcinwa kwedatha, iMicrosoft Research, ngokubambisana neqembu eligxile ekuqhubekeleni phambili kwebhizinisi i-Elire, seliqalile.  Iphrojekthi Silica.

Ngakho-ke, isebenza kanjani i-Project Silica?

Ekuqaleni, idatha ibhalwa kumaphaneli engilazi kusetshenziswa i-ultrafast femtosecond lasers. Lokhu kuguqulwa kwedatha yamaminithi akubonakali ngeso lenyama kodwa kungafinyelelwa kalula ngokufunda, ukuqopha, nokulotshwa kusetshenziswa isibonakhulu esilawulwa ngekhompuyutha. Amaphaneli engilazi agcina idatha abe esefakwa "emtatsheni wezincwadi" osebenza kancane ongadingi ugesi, okunciphisa kakhulu ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni okuhlobene nokugcinwa kwedatha yesikhathi eside.

Mayelana nemvelo emisha yale phrojekthi, u-Ant Rowstron, unjiniyela we-Microsoft Research wachaza ukuthi isikhathi sokuphila sobuchwepheshe kazibuthe silinganiselwe futhi i-hard drive ingahlala cishe iminyaka engu-5-10. Uma umjikelezo wayo wempilo usuphelile, kufanele uwuphindaphinde esizukulwaneni esisha semidiya. Eqinisweni, uma kucatshangelwa wonke amandla okusebenzisa nezinsiza, lokhu kunzima futhi akusimameki. Ngakho-ke, bahlose ukuguqula lesi simo nge-Project Silica.

Ngaphezu komculo namamuvi, le phrojekthi inezinye izimo zohlelo lokusebenza. Isibonelo, u-Elire usebenzisana ne-Microsoft Research ukusebenzisa lobu buchwepheshe kwi-Global Music Vault. Ingxenye encane yengilazi e-archipelago yase-Svalbard ingamumatha idatha engama-terabytes ambalwa, eyanele ukugcina izingoma ezingaba yizigidi ezingu-1.75 noma iminyaka engu-13 yomculo. Lokhu kuphawula isinyathelo esibalulekile sokulondoloza idatha esimeme.

Nakuba isitoreji sengilazi singakalungeli ukuthunyelwa ngezinga elikhulu, kubhekwa njengesixazululo esimeme sezentengiselwano esithembisayo ngenxa yokuqina kwayo nokusebenza kahle kwezindleko. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izindleko zokulondoloza ezinyathelweni zakamuva "ziyoba ncane." Kudinga kuphela ukugcina lezi zindawo zokugcina idatha yengilazi ezindaweni ezingenamandla. Uma kudingeka, amarobhothi angakhuphuka emashalofini ukuze awakhiphe ukuze enze imisebenzi elandelayo yokungenisa.

Ngokufigqiwe, I-Project Silica isinika indlela entsha, evumelana nemvelo yokugcina idatha. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi inesikhathi eside sokuphila kanye nomthamo omkhulu wokugcina, kodwa futhi inomthelela omncane wemvelo. Sibheke ngabomvu ukubona lobu buchwepheshe busetshenziswa kabanzi esikhathini esizayo, buletha ukunethezeka okukhulu ezimpilweni zethu.

TEYU i-laser chiller esheshayo  ihlinzeka ngosekelo lokupholisa olusebenzayo noluzinzile lwamaphrojekthi we-laser we-picosecond/femtosecond , ithuthukise ngempumelelo ikhwalithi yokucubungula nokwandisa isikhathi sokuphila kwemishini. Sibheke phambili ekusaseni lapho ama-laser chiller e-TEYU angasetshenziswa ukuze kubhalwe idatha engilazini eduze kwalobu buchwepheshe obusha obusha!
