HP has unveiled a new machine that
has the potential to revolutionise
computing and cope with the massive
amounts of data generated by mobile
devices and the Internet of things
(a network composed of household
appliances, cars, vending machines
and many other devices).
The Machine is designed to cope with
tonnes of information by using
clusters of special-purpose cores
that are more efficient than
generalised cores. It is wired with
photonics instead of copper wires,
meaning it consumes 80 times less
energy and is much faster.
According to HP, it can handle 160
petabytes of data in 250
nanoseconds.
The Machine is six times more
powerful than existing servers.
However, the first models powered
by this technology won’t be
commercially available until 2018.
