Bonnie is the brain child of Marcus Dawson. Originally, Marcus set out to design a computer that would not succumb to heat and break down under constant use. His innovative mind conceived of a matrix of processors cooled continuously by a liquid coolant. In the end, Bonnie was delivered as a device whose actual processing medium is liquid, with a neural network so sophisticated she is paramount to a living being. Bonnie is so secret, and act of Congress can not get you into her quarters.

The True Colors of Bonnie

Housing:

Bonnie is housed in a twelve-layered Lucite and glass box that measures 1,680 cubic feet – 15 foot wide, 14 foot long, and 8 foot high - a perfect cube.
The box sits atop a series of self-adjusting shock absorbers that will, in the event of an earthquake, hydraulically adjust to keep Bonnie stable.

The case has an outer shell of 4-inch Lucite. The final inner layer is lined with 2-inch hurricane glass and further reinforced by yet another layer of 2-inch plexi.

Operation:

Bonnie's liquid matrix changes color constantly. The liquid moves to and fro, changing patterns, merging, and reforming again as Bonnie goes about her business. The liquid is the functional medium for the 8 million mini-processors that dot the inner membrane of Bonnie’s brain. The nature and composition of the liquid is so secret that it is said to be the one thing Dawson would kill for.

Bonnie is capable of 200 zeta calculations per second with a “core” operating speed of 1000 terahertz.
The calculated storage capacity of Bonnie’s dynamic or volatile memory is 64YB (yottabytes, or 280 – equal to one septillion bytes)
with up to 75% of it accessible simultaneously.

Specially designed workstations are connected to Bonnie via liquid light - fiber optic cables suspended in a reactive fluid, each glowing in a different color depending on which processors are communicating across them.
