A group of universities isstarting a significant effortto improve the speed and efficiency of computers.
The PRISM effort is one of many ways researchers are trying to boost computing speed.
Current computing techniques have speed limits.

The power consumption and heat generated by high-performance computing can also be a limitation.
The game is stored on the computer’s hard drive, like an extensive library for storing things.
“This is called the hard drive’s read speed.
“If the graphics card is not powerful enough, the game’s graphics will be slow and choppy.
Game On
Faster computing systems could also lead to much better video games.
