News from the Western Front

Half a virtual mousebrain has been run on BlueGene L. - BBC News
IBM has made 3D memory techniques feasible for factory production of 45nm chips with a 3D layout, for example as processor-on-processor or memory-on-processor matrices. BlueGene L is ready to soar. Best case scenario: Moores Law in 3D.

Once you have such a new dynamic to play with, a cats brain can run simulated and develop new strategies for problem solving. There will be a whole new set of predatory and possibly semi-sentient analytical tools available. Probably a bit like having a USB-plug calling for a beefed up Medulla oblongata.
