"AlGORITHMS: How to Harness Future Personal Supercomputers"
At Intel, its People and Practices Research Group is crafting pattern-recognition algorithms that it hopes will gracefully scale-up, as more and more consumer electronic devices approach supercomputer speeds. According to Intel, by the year 2018 mobile phones will have somewhere between 4 and 10 teraflops of processing power, surpassing the speeds of room-filling supercomputers of not so very long ago. In anticipation of these advances, Intel’s “Everyday Sensing and Perception” study aims to answer the simple yet relevant question: “What are people going to do with these systems when they achieve supercomputer speeds?”
