Video: Former IBMer Dave Turek Explains DNA-based Storage and its Place in the Compute Landscape to Come
September 4, 2020 by
New compute architectures, with the potential to propel systems power forward even as Moore’s Law winds down, are emerging — a phenomenon sometimes referred to as “technology disaggregation.” Hence the explosive growth of accelerated CPU/GPU-based computing within the von Neumann domain and the intensive activity and investment in quantum. While classical von Neumann computing will […]
