I hope it does well in the benchmarks. That's all good and it should help in certain areas. I'm taking a different path with my AI, just aiming for the ultimate goal of an actual sentient being at least comparable to humans. Written in c, which is faster than c++. Actually when you start comparing languages with c & c++ it can be difficult. Some coders have the ability to write ultra high performance c code, which IMO is a rarity. That kind of coding takes a long time, and it might not be such a huge pay off. Maybe 1.5 to 5 times faster. What's a lot more important is RAM. My custom RAM DB is thousands of times faster than a mysql DB. You probably won't need to worry about RAM for awhile. When you reach the phase of transforming it into a sentient AGI, then RAM might be a huge issue. Some hardware info you might want to look at one day:

Dell PowerEdge M910 Motherboard, 4 cpus, 32 memory slots, up to 1TB RAM. There are newer motherboards that take better cpus, but if you're on a budget and RAM is highest priority then keep that in mind. Sometimes you catch one on ebay for about $130. The RAM though, wow, expensive. The cheapest I found was $19 per 16GB (2x8GB) 667 MHz PC2-5300P 2Rx4 DDR2, Server Memory Tested. That will take it up 0.5TB for a total of $19 * 32 = $608. That's ultra cheap and I'm not sure that RAM will work the M910. Next step up is $30 16GB (2x8GB) 1600MHz DIMM DDR3 DDR-3 Atech, $30 * 32 = $960 = 0.5TB RAM. Very inexpensive. 32GB is 0R45J   32GB*   PC3L-10600R   4Rx4   1333 MHz   1.35V   $192 = $6144 = 1TB RAM. That works well with the M910. Another option is a used server. You can easily find one on ebay with 64GB RAM for about $160 (RAM included), but I don't think that's enough for true AGI.

If 1TB isn't enough there's this beast: HP Z8 PC, 3TB RAM and 48TB disk.

Z8 cost about $2500 as a barebones workstation. You’ll need to shell out mega $ for the RAM.

Good luck on your project!

Thanks! A sentient, human-level or above AI is ultimately our goal too. We're just taking it nice and slow.

Wow thats a good find,   if u were being lazy you could allocate the whole thing in one block of content addressable memory for a 39 bit content key   and wrap the overshoot.

One thing you should look up is fpga cards  they are faster than gpus and sometimes they pack 100 gig signal lines into them!!!   thats if you could believe what I was looking at.   that means the pulse waveform is troughing per millimetre down the cable, and it needs a measured super demuxer and muxer, to deal with the fact the width of the wave is so short.

I think a custom AI ASIC chip consisting of a CAM type DB mixed with circuit driven parallel tree searching is the future, and equates to true ASI. DB searches done in one or two clock cycles.

when i was a kid i used to pretend to be a scientist and talk like an engineer -  but now i can do it for real but pity i just take it for granted. *tsk tsk*

He might as well be talking like a pirate for all the sense he's making. He's talking rubbish again and he was going so well there for a while.

Oh shit I even sounded good for a while?  im retarded mate.
check out one of my looper inventions, dont bother yourself except to laugh at the mad fool dont worry im used to it

And you can hear how retarded I sound in this one.  its a fact, im spastic.

No Ranch, sorry I wasn't referring to anything you said. I was talking about the technospeak gobbledegook in the message before that. If it does make sense to anyone I'd love to hear an explanation.

More ad hominem. Care to prove your claims? LOL.

What kind of an engineer? I design electrical circuits (EE) and write software (SE) if you ever want to exchange thoughts. Same goes for physics.

SEs are a dime a dozen haha. They're everywhere. Lets talk leading edge cpu design, in another thread of course.
