Inescapable Data: Harnessing the Power of Convergence (paperback)

Chapter Twelve. Super Computers, Visualization, and Networks

We are a company that focuses on big data, some of the largest data sets in the world. Petabyte-size models kept in globally addressable RAM with thousands of processors operating. Discoveries made by such massive computation, data analysis, visualization, and the challenges of building these machines will propel computing to the next level. The current super-computing model needs rethinking.
