In our articles this week we explore just how much the HPC is changing, to meet the demands of huge amounts of data collection routines. The Internet of Things has developed into a trillion-dollar industry, with billions of devices downloading and collecting petabytes of information every ten minutes. Many industrial and military designs are working to keep up with this glut of data, from a vast number of assets and sensors. The HPCs are running at general-purpose processor speeds and using processors found often in PCs. The needs for embedded systems to keep up with these expanding storage, speed and memory needs are bringing small businesses to the forefront, like GET Engineering. |
