‘Memory will drive computing’
Along with such a transition will come the full power of AI, says HP top official
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) foresees the need to move away from traditional CPU-centred architecture to a more memorydriven one. This would mean memory becoming vital to the overall system rather than the processor, with such an architecture holding terabytes or petabytes of memory at one time.
And solve problems faster than what a conventional computer processor can.
Phil Davis, president of Hybrid IT and chief sales officer at HPE, said the future of technology is cloud-enabled and data-driven, and that memory-driven computing will offer new opportunities for problem-solving and innovation. He said HPE is transforming the economics to speed growth by changing ■ investment strategies and business models. “Artificial Intelligence (AI) can further expand and amplify these realisations, advancing the way people live and work and generating significant upside to businesses, organisations and governments,” Davis said.
Moreover, it is opening up unprecedented opportunities in a world where everything computes, and everyone and everything generate shares and consume data. “You’re already seeing several ways of advanced digital technologies. AI and two of its subsets — machine learning and deep learning — are making a dramatic imprint throughout the Gulf countries. By applying AI, we can solve some of life’s toughest problems.
But there are two concerns people have about AI, he said.
“One is the ethics of AI and that is how it is used. The other element is if jobs are going to be displaced,” Davis said.
