Either way, factories have to take advantage of new capabilities enabled by the increasingly rapid convergence of mobility, real-time complex data processing and analytics, cloud based services and machine-to-machine intelligence.
Fast Data is the continuous access and processing of events and data in real-time for the purposes of gaining instant awareness and instant action.
To achieve this, the company needed to run complex data mining models on a large volume of data, which took at least three weeks of processing time, even with a subset of the 2.8-petabyte data set.
Large data processing systems require a full-time staff to operate efficiently.
Started in late 1998, the space-alien hunt has recruited the owners of 2.5 million PCs, tapping their machines' idle processing time to search small chunks of radio telescope data for patterns that might signal intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos.
The workings of most chips are governed by a clock and the data processing they do advances with each tick of that time-keeper.
