The Machine is six times more powerful than existing computational devices.
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.
