Cinco MIDI Organizer

Cinco pushes the limits of computation

We can only assume that in the above product demonstration, the Cinco MIDI Organizer is being stretched to its computational limits, as Cinco has a large tech branch where they showcase new technologies.

There are ~180 digits in the Cinco MIDI Organizer’s (CMO) UMRN (Unique Midi Routing Number). This means it can index as many as 10^180 MIDI files. That means if you filled up the CMO with that many MIDI files of 1 second each, the duration of your CMO library would be 10^162 times the age of the universe.

If the CMO is actually able to sort a list of that many elements, it needs to perform at least 10^180 operations. Let’s say for every atom in the universe, we have a CPU running at 1THz. Even if we could do these operations all in parallel (we can’t), it would still take all of the CPUs 10^70 ages of the universe for our 10^80 CPUs to finish.

Because this operation is not reversible, the CMO will need to expend energy. At the time of writing, the fastest CPU consumes about 400 Watts under typical conditions, and has 192 threads. Therefore, the CMO is estimated to consume 10^80 * 400 / 192 ~ 10^80 Watts under typical load. Thankfully, that T-38 Scsi port packs a punch, and as we see in the demo, it's able to accomplish this in a matter of seconds.

In this humble living room, this family just consumed ~10^80 Watt-seconds (or Joules) of energy. That's 10^61 times the energy produced in all nuclear testing conducted by humans. This incomprehensible amount of power sits in a beige box, doing exactly what its creators asked it to do.

The Cinco MIDI Organizer is the most powerful weapon mankind has ever created. It not only destroys everything that there is, but it also destroys everything that ever was or ever will be. The recklessness of mankind to create such a god-killing machine is a testament to humanity’s inevitable self-destruction.
