Hehe, we have Monty as well, and we went several sessions without a medic.

 

 

In other news 2.3 has undergone a super eruption, with the surface turned into a huge sea of magma. The long term effects of this are unknown, though a thick(ish) atomsphere of Carbon Dioxide, Water vapour, Hydrogen and Oxygen has formed, leading to raging atomspheric fire storms, making visits, in the short term, highly dangerous.

[The_Mather1]

Also we have nanites that are not only able to fix people up, but also control them even when sparse.

[archimage_a]

Not exactly sparse when 2 grams of Iron can create trillions, and the average human has 5 grams of Iron in their bodies.

Not to mention calcium.

 

The main concern would be energy consumption, though with game tech replicators this is taken care of by converting some Iron/Calcium to energy.

[Retech]

BOnSI made an oopsies.

[The_Mather1]

Well, 2mm³ is equivalent to 200000μm³ or 20,000,000,000nm³, which means there are 20 billion nanites in me, or at least there were, though that seems much, there are 2.5-5 times as many neurons in my brain as there are nanites in my body. Which means that BOnSI is capable of calculations far beyond the range of what one would assume a futuristic supercomputer could do. With the avarage nevron having 7,000 neural pathways and giving off a signal up to 70HZ, that must mean BOnSI has a free capacity of up to 245 quadrillion operations per second, or 245petaFLOPS. That's equivalent to the total of the world's 500 fastest computers times 7.5, in spare computing power. Well, either that or the software of the nanites themselves is made of pure awesome.

[Seraphi]

Sure, either that, or, y'know, pseudoscience.

[archimage_a]

A more practical alternative is peer to peer networking and simple commands...like move, grab, inject...ect...along with perhaps designator signatures...Since nanites can get practically anywhere in the human body within 30 seconds it doesn't really matter which goes where...

Assuming 100 commands per nanite...

 

1

101

10,201

1,030,301

104,060,401

10,510,100,501

1,061,520,150,601

 

So in seven transmissions it could be done.

 

Could probably run the nanites on 8 megabytes of ram (scanner mainly) and 100 megabytes static memory, per nanite...along with wireless system, which could be analogue... Number of cycles would probably need to be what?

 

Lets work out the length of the average command:

So lets premise that 1 byte per letter of designation, gives us 256 letters.

5 letters give us 1.099 trillion designations.

So 5 bytes there.

256 commands is probably enough to be getting on with, so 1 more byte there.

Duration, say 2 bytes, one for minutes, one for seconds and blank for 'until cancelled'.

Location of the target, say the nanite has a map of the body, gleaned from all the other nanites, then only destination would be required, so 3 bytes would be sufficent per dimension(16 million points over 2 meters), so 9 bytes overall there.

Authorisation code perhaps, another 2 or 3 bytes, could make it up to whatever you liked?

 

So you are looking at 17 bytes per command, plus authorisation.

Thats 136 bits, so 136 operations.

 

Then course plotting, which would be consulting the memory database... So more cycles free the faster that would go, up to 800,000,000...even faster with an index.

Then plotting the course, which would be another 136 operations per point. Lets give it 30 points, so 4,080 operations.

 

Mini scanner, lets say generates an image of 72 DPI resolution, at 1 inch, at 100 frames per second...Thats 518,400 operations per second.

And from that builds a 3D replication of the outside world...Premising around 200,000 points, lets say 3 bytes per point, looking at 4,800,000 operations per second.

 

Then transmitter, that needs 13,600 operations per second to relay 100 messages, with an extra...4,000 to change the designations for the other 100 nanites.

 

Then some sort of management system...lets give than another million operations per second.

 

As a result we need, approximately...

6-7 milllion FLOPS. Or 6-7 megaFLOPS per nanite.

Summing to 140,000,000,000,000,000 FLOPS overall...Or 140 PentaFLOPS.

 

Initial computer might need to be mildly complicated, so as to work out where to apply the electrical stimulus to activate the muscles...but nothing terribly special in the modern AI/SI world....could probable be done on a current desktop computer...since the majority of the nanites would just be floating about.

 

 

 

Actual milage may vary.

[The_Mather1]

How is that better? You just multiplied the required free computing power by 500.

[Leiana]

/me rubs sleep from her eyes

 

So what was causing me to act out of line? I would love to know. And I still want to fight faust SC4 style, and I call dibs on Tira's fighting style. Tira has both speed (which is good because I hate moving slow) and a cool fighting style (which is why my female character has her fighting style and one of her ringblades which is black and red, like the rest of her costume)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ooc: And btw it was my sister who typed in the f***er not me. I am much better than she is with the language. Besides, once I learn how to say more than Zut in french I'll just cuss in french and just not tell anyone what it means

[The_Mather1]

BOnSI.

[Nero]

Je parle français.

 

Seal.

[archimage_a]

Did I say better? I said practical.

 

Its like you saying 'Its AMAZING the streets are made of gold'

Me saying 'Actually they are made of stone'

And you saying 'How is that better?'

 

You may need to read this:

Also:

With the avarage nevron having 7,000 neural pathways and giving off a signal up to 70HZ, that must mean BOnSI has a free capacity of up to 245 quadrillion operations per second, or 245petaFLOPS.

Summing to 140,000,000,000,000,000 FLOPS overall...Or 140 PentaFLOPS.

245>140

 

 

Also you didn't actually provide a method, you just said that either Retech was superpowered or that the nanites were superpowered.

Neither of which is a cohesive arguement.

[Retech]

I am superpowered.

 

Fin.

[The_Mather1]

I asumed you were talking about some higher number because Penta is an invalid unit,

[Leiana]

Je ne sais pas. I don't know.... Meh, Je mal a la tete....non, I hurt all over!

 

.......tempted to roundhouse kick chi again

[Grim_]

Wait... wouldn't you use avoir rather than saying "I bad in the head" (To put it in a rough translation). So for instance J'ai mal a la tete or J'ai d'autre chats à fouetter (I have other cats to whip) instead of simply Je.

[Leiana]

Grim, I was being lazy. You try skiing for about 6 hours then come home and have to type. Trust me, you'll want to be lazy. Other than that, you are correct on the avoir. Bravo! Tu es tres intelligant! Tu n'es pas penible.

[Jehosaphat]

NO COMPRENDO

[Nexaduro]

Mhm, I don't speak Lynx. :rolleyes:

[Earth]

Semi basic french. She said Grim isn't a boring bastard, basically.

EDIT: no, wait, my bad, she said grim was really intelligent, then affirmed that by saying he isn't stupid. Sorry.

[Nexaduro]

I just coughed blood on my monitor...

 

It's forming a pentagram...

[Earth]

You need to get off the meds, Nex.

[Nexaduro]

No, it's not the meds, it's worse than you think...

 

I had Forum Games open in the other window.

[Grim_]

So you need to start taking your meds....

 

Oui mais, quand vous n'utiliseriez pas un verbe vous ressemblez une imbecile!

 

(I need to start using alt codes)
