2016: Announcement of a prototype
On November 28, 2016 Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced a prototype of the computer of new generation. A system under the name The Machine pereosmyslyat computing architecture as it in a case with the provided development of the American company in many respects relies on RAM.
Basis of The Machine is the OZU new type on memristors which are deprived of restrictions by traditional DRAM-and a flash memory and assume very high speeds of data transmission. In memristors RAM and the drive is combined thanks to what the data exchange rate with the central processor considerably increases.
The information density of memory on memristors so exceeds the existing technologies that, by estimates of HPE, the amount of data of modern data center can be contained in several server racks.
The Machine received the network X1 platform including the processor and several accompanying hardware components providing fast data transmission on fiber-optical connections. X1 allows to transfer data on network also quickly as though they were loaded directly from one PC on another. One more feature of the platform which by the time of the announcement of The Machine already is in production is the possibility of vertical scaling of a computer system.
By the end of November, 2016 of HPE created only an early prototype of The Machine based on which programmers will develop the new software necessary for system operation. The producer did not call terms of commercial release of a product, but noted that the new memory necessary for operation of the device will become public not earlier than 2018. The company is going to use The Machine components in traditional servers.
The Machine developers claim that the final version of the computer will be able to accelerate in hundreds of times computation processes at accomplishment of such transactions as response to failures in work of IT systems of airlines, fraud prevention with credit cards and risk assessment for huge portfolios of financial assets.[1]
