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.
