Jobs and homes across the country, and Bushnell was anxious to come up and Woz alternated as the White Rabbit with a successor. He envisioned a variation on Pong called Breakout, and the Mad Hatter. in which the player bounced a ball off a paddle at the bottom of the screen in an attempt to smash the bricks in a wall at the top. Bushnell turned to Jobs, a technician, to design the circuitry. Initially Jobs tried to do the work himself, but soon realized he was in way over his head and asked his friend Steve Wozniak to bail him out. “Steve wasn’t capable of designing anything that complex.

    St. Paul Lutheran Church and School The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod October 25, 2015 As We Gather...Today is the twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost and the day on which we commemorate the Reformation. In the liturgy today, we hear of the God who is both just and the justifier of the unjust sinner. This article of justification is the rock on which the teaching of the Church stands or falls. In the First Reading from Revelation, we hear the message the Church is given to proclaim until Christ comes again. From Romans, Paul gives clear explanation of what it means to be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches that we are His disciples because we abide in His life-giving Word. WELCOME Guests!

  • BG4 White Paper
    Delivering Improved Performance and Power Efficiency with Next-Generation BG4 Series Client NVMe™ SSDs Advanced BG4 Series SSD Capabilities in Comparison to the BG3 Series Introduction KIOXIA introduced its fourth generation of single package ball grid array (BGA) solid-state drives (SSDs), called the BG4 Series, at the Consumer Electronics Show 2019. This new series of client NVMe™ SSDs utilize the company’s latest 96-layer BiCS FLASH™ 3D technology and is designed to fuel the future of mobile computing and IoT devices. The BG4 Series delivers better performance and larger maximum capacities than previous NVMe SSDs in this product category1, and represents one of the smallest removable drives currently available. BG4 Series SSDs include flash memory and a new controller in one encompassing 16mm x 20mm package, enabling larger amounts of flash memory to be added to smaller and thinner devices while extending battery life to improve the mobile experience. Similar to previous generations, the BG4 Series leverages the Host Memory Buffer (HMB) feature to maintain high-performance without the use of integrated DRAM (Figure 1). The feature uses a portion of host memory to manage flash memory within an SSD, and delivers similar performance as SSDs with DRAM when the feature is turned on. This cost-effective DRAM-less design has resulted in one of the world’s thinnest SSDs that delivers a heightened mobile user experience at a fraction of the power requirement when compared to other NVMe-based SSDs. DRAM DRAM CPU command CPU command PCH data PCH data HMB PCIe PCIe SSD SSD SSD Controller DRAM SSD Controller LUT LUT NAND NAND Figure 1 depicts a traditional client SSD and one with Host Memory Buffer (HMB) architecture Advanced BG4 Series SSD Capabilities in Comparison to the BG3 Series When compared to its predecessor (the BG3 Series), the BG4 Series delivers significantly faster random read performance and twice the capacity using less power.
