The Pivotal Role of Tera-scale Performance in Future Networks: Sequoia vs Multi-core Teraflop Chip

Abstract

With the increasing greed for the high data rates and maximum bandwidth utilization, the technology improvement and enhancement is been exponential in the current decade. Researchers hope that massive parallel processing (MPP) computing equipment will provide processing rates of 10 trillion or quadrillion floating-point operations per second. It would allow scientists to build models of phenomena that have never before been imitated. Many vendors are busy in the research and development of such speedy machines. This paper will provide a comparative analysis of the future high computing machines in terms of speed, size applications, architecture and affordability. A predictive conclusion regarding the dominance of one on the other will also be drawn on the basis of this comparison.
