What is a Cairn?

A Cairn is a man-made stack of stones (see Wikipedia entry for CAIRN) or in french monticule artificiel de pierres (cf page Wikipédia pour CAIRN).

In our group we see the word Cairn as the evocation of a 3D stacking of energy-efficient (even zero-power) chips. It is also an acronym…but a little far-fetched.
