Adaptive Intelligence in The New Computing Era

Connectivity is becoming ubiquitous with everything being connected all the time. Everything from streetlights to smart city cameras, automobiles, and appliances will be connected and generating continuous data. The unprecedented increase in the number of devices that generate data, most of which is unstructured, and the increase in the volume of data has led to a change in the way data is analysed, transported, and stored. This connectivity requires high aggregated bandwidth, low-latency as well as security. This has accelerated industry standards across many areas, including wireless, wireline, automotive, and data centers. This new era requires distributed computing that is also intelligent. More data needs to be processed where it is generated, while it is being transported and while it is at rest. At the same time, improvement in silicon technology has slowed down. Traditional computing platforms and architectures are unable to sufficiently scale to address the changing needs.
