I will try to answer Myheartisskippingbeats question. Yes, he did raise very good questions. As someone work in the computer field for a long time, maybe my answer will be OK?

1. Server Farm.

Server farm is needed because our silicone chip power were not strong enough. So by combining thousands of computer together we can serve millions or even billions of people at the same time. This is our current technology level.

However, the silicone chip development is going to be "3D", which means in the future, on the chip of same size, it might have thousands, or even millions of layers, each layer could be served as an independent computer node. So when such a "super chip" is made, each could be regarded as a whole server farm. Therefore, its size is only as large as your palm, and it's easily put into a backpack.

2. Cooling and power.

This is why ALIE ask Jaha to convert the nuclear warhead into a mini nuclear power plant. We already have technologies that can make truck size nuclear power plants that works 100 years (Bill Gates is working on it.) Therefore, it's not far-fetching that in the future, a nuclear plant is as small as a backpack. It will generate the power directly from the neutron it emits, so no need for cooling or anything.

The "super chip" I mentioned before required a lot of cooling, it's hard to imagine what kind of cooling can do the tough job. I am here just give you a sci-fi idea: Maybe it cool the chip by infra-red radiation to the sky.

In physics, heat can be dispated with transfer or radiation. Traditionally we use transfer to cool down computer chips, but it's also possible to use radiation to send the heat out. Maybe the backpack is radiating massive amount of invisible infra-red rays to the sky, so the heat generated by the "super chip" will be dispersed?
